To educate and inspire, the new documentary “Brown Hands, Black Schools” aims to explain Historically Black Colleges and Universities’ cultural impact and historical significance to young children. The film is adapted from a published children’s book by Latoya Turner, a Central State University alumna.

Aria and Walter, the book’s two main characters, are followed as they visit a cousin at a Homecoming celebration.  While there, the two experience the vibrancy of marching bands, step shows, and football games. Producer Angela Davis says it is important to introduce children to HBCUs early.
