Social, Political, Economic Issues (Berkeley WebSite)

Thanks to Riley Conway, Media Committee, CTEP AmeriCorps (2005-06).

This site is truly worth checking out. This is not a program, but a resource to teach teachers and parents and kids about our history and struggle for recognition and rights.

Riley said: "If any of you are interested in checking out some films that address social, political, and economic issues in America (i.e. the media as jedi), check out this website at Berkeley: http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/MRC/SocialIssues.html."
