NEW YORK, Nov. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Film director and educator Brandi Webb collaborated with veteran educator Melody Michaux, to develop the 3E Program for Social Justice and Change. The 3E Program is a U.S History curriculum resource that provides middle and high school educators with lesson plans, resources, assessments, and video segments and uses New York state standards as a basis. These standards fall in line with social studies requirements in many other states. Video segments used to accompany 3E Program lessons are from Webb's award winning documentary, Betrayal of a Nation. Film topics addressed include the American Dream, the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment, the Tulsa Race Massacre, and Reparations, along with five other topics. With a focus on Ethics, Empathy, and Empowerment, the program offers instructors an opportunity to provide their students an in-depth examination of historical events that have impacted African Americans and People of Color. These events have been lightly touched on, distorted, or omitted altogether in conventional U.S History syllabi. The goal of the 3E Program is to build a new legacy free of racism.

Key Points: 
  • Video segments used to accompany 3E Program lessons are from Webb's award winning documentary, Betrayal of a Nation.
  • Film topics addressed include the American Dream, the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment, the Tulsa Race Massacre, and Reparations, along with five other topics.
  • In response to the overwhelming demand to have the film's topics integrated into school curricula, Webb and Michaux created the 3E Program.
  • The 3E Program for Social Justice and Change also provides virtual classes of the history curriculum for homeschooled students, taught by 3E Program educators.
