Mississippi Burning

On Thursday, March 12th, the United States History classes at the Kaplan Career Academy viewed the award-winning film Mississippi Burning (1988) as a continuation of Black History Month celebrations. The film, which loosely recreates the events of the FBI investigation into the murders of three civil rights workers in the U.S. state of Mississippi in 1964, won the Academy Award for best cinematography.

The students viewed the two-hour film in a comfortable make-shift theatre set up inside the school’s cafeteria, and were actively engaged in its presentation.

Mr. Di Cesare stopped the movie at several pre-selected locations in order to provide relevant historical background, explain legal concepts and to gauge the reactions and understandings of the students. At the conclusion of the film, he stressed to his classes that many people suffered and gave their lives for the rights and freedoms that we have in today’s American society. And that remembering and honoring those, in particular those during the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960’s, who have helped to improve the quality of the human experience was an important function of learning and understanding our history. During the group discussion many of the students expressed an appreciation for the positive changes that the civil rights movement had on their own lives, and that they were surprised that the events depicted in the film were relatively recent ones.

Some students felt that viewing the movie helped ‘bring to life’ the events that they had read about in a much more vivid and ‘real’ way; that watching events had more impact on them than simply reading about them.

Our trip to volunteer at the Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary was very enjoyable on Friday March 13th. 4 students and 2 staff worked tirelessly for 3 hours and accomplished a big task to help the living quarters for the pigs. We also seen many other animals and hope to do this again soon. The staff was very wonderful and really helped make our visit memorable.
