Now we are sharing the extraordinary story of the Violet Protest through a film documentary.
Being able to see and hear the story of the Violet Protest offers the public, as well as teachers and students, an educational opportunity to see, in action, ideas of public engagement, civil discourse, American history - and experience an example of how critical thinking can be applied in myriad ways to address areas of public concern.
Arizona PBS is the presenting station for the Violet Protest film and it is now distributed by NETA (National Educational Telecommunication Assoc.)
In addition, the PBS LearningMedia website is now offering a lesson plan centered on the Violet Protest: A Creative Call for National Unity documentary. Educators and students from across the country can now learn about the Violet Protest's message and it historical context.
