Young Black Voter

by Dave Newton last modified June-29-2009 11:52 PM

The short film Young Black Voter traces the personal journey of aspiring Kentucky filmmaker Lavel White from a self-described disengaged youth—who occasionally committed petty crimes—to a hopeful young adult, actively involved in the political process and community issues.

 

This is a production of KET and Making Connections Louisville, made possible with support from the ITVS Vote Democracy! public television station grant initiative.

 

Many KFTC members met Lavel for the first time this past weekend at the PUSHBACK Convening and saw his film.  He's a new KFTC member now, and is especially interested in getting more involved in our campaign to restore voting rights to former felons who have served their debt to society.

Congrats to Lavel White, Director. A good start down the road to grassroots organizing and Metro Louisville community leadership. I do hope we at KFTC will commit to continue to help this young black man on his journey. I hereby give my support.

Thanks for sharing!
