Documentary Screening "All The Difference"

Our goal is to serve as a central 'hub and respository' of empirically-based research and other valuable resources to improve urban schools in the state of North Carolina and the nation. To fulfill the true essence of our University designation, we have an intentional purpose to provide strategic outreach to schools and other organizations to fit their needs to improve the educational environment to faciliate high-level learning for our nation's urban students.

The Urban Education Collaborative

The largely invisible and often crushing struggles of young African-American men come vividly — and heroically — to life in All the Difference, which traces the paths of two teens from the South Side of Chicago who dream of graduating from college. Statistics predict that Robert and Krishaun will drop out of high school, but they have other plans. Oscar®-nominated producer/director Tod Lending's intimate film, executive produced by author Wes Moore, follows the young men through five years of hard work, sacrifice, setbacks and uncertainty. As they discover, support from family, teachers and mentors makes all the difference in defying the odds. Filmmakers: Tod Lending, Joy Thomas Moore, Wes Moore. After the screening of the documentary, a panel discussion will follow focused on solutions that various stakeholders can make to improve urban school environments.
