"When The Dogs Left"
San Francisco Bay Area media expert, award-winning journalist, award-winning filmmaker, and a former nonprofit leader of the American Red Cross & founder of the National Coalition of 100 Black Women's Doris Ward OWED Dream Keeper Initiative, Jackie Wright, is working with a group of University of Georgia faculty, alumni, and current students to give a picture of desegregation of the university outside the lens of more well-known early icons, Charlene Hunter-Gault, Dr. Hamilton Holmes and Mary Frances Early, who broke the race barriers at the school.
"When the Dogs Left," focuses on Pastor Nawanna Lewis Millier, the founder of Pamoja, an arts group that for over 50 years helped students of color make it through the university. Five decades of voices will tell the story of resilience and black excellence.
