by Center for Democracy and Citizenship • Last week we wrote about a dozen young people from Minneapolis and Brooklyn Center, Minn., who are using Public Achievement in a program at Hope Community to understand power and make collective change.
By the People is a weblog on civic engagement produced by the Center for Democracy and Citizenship at the Hubert H. Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs of the University of Minnesota.
As part of their work and learning, they partnered with SPNN to create a documentary about a group of African American students at the University of Minnesota (U of M) who, in 1969, staged a sit-in to demand that the university improve the campus climate - and access - for minorities. In this film, the teens place an event organized by students in Minnesota 40 years ago in the context of an ongoing nationwide movement for justice and equality.

MOVIES | Security, snacks, security, swag, and security: What it's like to be a journalist covering the Academy Awards

By Barb Teed, TC Daily Planet

When I applied for Academy Awards press credentials last November I thought that pretty much any media representative could gain access. Wrong. I had to fill out two applications. Arts editor Jay Gabler needed to verify my assignment to cover the Oscars for the Daily Planet. From a pool of about 5,000 individual applicants for press credentials, only about 300 were approved. The approval of my credentials made me part of an exclusive group frequently referred to by Academy representatives as "the legitimate press." (As opposed to what, I often wondered.)MORE »
