Rebuilding Communities
July
’64Carvin Eison is a two-time New York State Emmy® Award nominee for his documentary July ’64. He is currently working on his newest projects, both of which have grown out of his work on July ’64. The first, a 30-minute documentary/profile on Minister Franklin Florence and the FIGHT organization in Rochester, NY. This project again focuses on local and regional history. The second project, currently in preproduction, is Penumbra, in which Eison is exploring how lynching developed, thrived and eventually diminished in the US. Penumbra is a national project with the potential of becoming a feature narrative film.
Tukufu Zuberi is a leading sociologist studying African demography as well as
