Agents of Change<br />
The 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision mandated the integration of<br />
American schools ?with all deliberate speed.? It wasn?t until the late 1960s that a<br />
critical mass of African American students began entering the nation?s<br />
colleges and universities. Agents of Change tells the story of what they<br />
encountered, how they responded. Many students dealt with racial slurs, taunts and<br />
threats from faculty as well as from other students. Agents of Change introduces a<br />
cast of largely unrecognized but remarkable characters, whose commitment to<br />
justice and equality paved the way for the opportunities that followed, while also<br />
reminding viewers about the work yet to be done to achieve full equity and dignity<br />
on campus and in society. How is it that so much and so little has changed? This film<br />
helps answer that question.<br />
