"In the schools highlighted by Ms. Yamazaki, both films ("The Making of a Japanese" and "Koshien: Japan's Field of Dreams"] show what can at times seem like an almost militaristic devotion to order, teamwork and self-sacrifice. But the documentaries also portray teachers and coaches trying to preserve the best of Japanese culture while acknowledging that certain traditions might damage the participants." www.nytimes.com/2024/04/05/world/asia/japan-docume…

"As a mixed-race person growing up in Japan, I had many reservations about the Japanese way. In “the nail that sticks out gets hammered down” society, I was often that nail, and sometimes I felt suffocated by the rigid rules of society. When I was 19, I moved to New York to study film and begin my career as a documentary director. Unexpectedly, while I learned so many valuable things in America, I also gained a deeper appreciation for Japan - trains running on time, people patiently lining up, avoiding wastefulness, being considerate, and a sense of personal responsibility. These traits, learned from a young age, are so normal in Japan that they are taken for granted." Watch director @emaryanyamazaki6245's film, The Making of a Japanese, to understand how Japanese students become part of greater society as they grow up. Watch now ⬇️

In March 1990, Morgan State University students staged a sit-in demanding just funding for their school. The six days of peaceful protesting led to the state house and the governor in Annapolis, and eventually a settlement providing millions to Maryland's HBCUs.

#DIDYOUKNOW HBCUs and Their Black students contributed to the Civil Rights Movement? On Feb. 1, 1960, 65 years ago, the Greensboro Four - Ezell Blair Jr., David Richmond, Franklin McCain and Joseph McNeil - sat down at a North Carolina Woolworth's lunch counter. The four N.C. A&T State University students started a nationwide sit-in and sparked non-violent activism including the Freedom Riders and the 1990 Morgan State University protest.
