National History Day Documentary Wins Inaugural Ted Landsmark “Good Trouble” Prize for an Outstanding Project in Civil Rights History
Three Neeham High School students created a 10-minute documentary on the Tuskegee Syphilis Study and were awarded the inaugural Ted Landsmark “Good Trouble” Prize for an Outstanding Project in Civil Rights. The students won their high school competition and were also medalists at regional and state events. They will compete at the national competition in June along with 70 other students from across the Commonwealth. On 8 May, the award-winning team screened their film at Northeastern and met Ted Landsmark. Read an article about their visit.
