Exciting movie news

Thanks to the efforts of the WAA, it looks like the story of the black Pittsburgh valedictorian will be made into a movie called "Validated" (great title!). Word is that Alicia Keys will be involved; other stars have also shown interest. Pittsburgh will receive additional national attention. Stay tuned!

Channel 4 reported on "Validated" this morning and stated that it would be released next JULY.

Is it true that Linda Lane did not attend the ceremony at the Academy at Westinghouse honoring the first African American?

She did not attend the "Black Valedictorian" ceremony. Maybe there were liability concerns, if she would be called on to speak.
