Description
This documentary critically considers the Oakland Unified Schools' 1996 "Ebonics Resolution." Building on the success of local instructional programming, the Resolution sought to improve African-American student performance by acknowledging African American linguistic patterns and improving "the English acquisition and application skills of African-American students."Through the use of archival footage and contemporary interviews with scholars, educational policymakers and leaders and students who were directly involved with the Resolution, the documentary pursues a coherent and comprehensive engagement of Ebonics. The programexplores; the African roots of the linguistic patterns that define Ebonics, the debate about the name, the adoption, revision and local debate about the resolution, and the ways in which the discussion of Ebonics entered the larger American public through media and public policy. The film aims to raise the topic of Ebonics in a contemporary and scholarly context, and is the first documentary to address this complex issue through an engagement with linguistic and educational research.
