Welcome to the web site for the film The Children Shall
Lead, which documents
the 1961 Freedom Rides. Produced by the William Winter Institute for
Racial Reconciliation and Media Production in the Division of Outreach,
both at The University of Mississippi, and the non-profit PieceWorks: a
Deep South Arts Collective, the film serves as a secondary educational
resource and is available to high schools for no fee
The Civil Rights Movement is an important example of local people
becoming empowered to create positive change. We encourage
understanding of this period in order to be more truthful about the
past as we move forward toward building an equitable future together.
We are especially interested in students understanding this history
and its lessons. There are activities and resources geared
toward high school students as well as resources for high school
educators.
