Living Legacy
| Living Legacy was a community-based
photography and videography project that worked with youth (ages
10-14) in a housing project in Knoxville, TN. Through this
project, youth learned about photography, videography, and
interviewing techniques by collecting oral histories of the
Civil Rights Movement from community elders and creating photo
essay projects on community change. |
Living Legacy provided youth with productive after-school and
weekend activities. This program also increased their confidence and self-esteem
through service and skill attainment, strengthened their civic
attachment and created linkages between themselves and elders in the
community. The project was coordinated through a partnership between
Mt. Zion Baptist Church and the CPC.
