School Daze question.

[ladygreek]

I took my daught to see School Daze before her senior year in high school. It solidified her desire to go to a HBCU - LOL. Can't believe it's been that long ago.

When Spike Lee was at our national convention years ago to show the trailer of Malcolm X, he talked about how indebted he was to DST and the NY Alumnae chapter for feeding him, giving him a place to stay and helping to finance his movies in the early days (because his family's close neighbor was a member.) Thus the positive reference to us in School Daze.

That is also why he sought approval from our late Soror Betty Shabazz and made suggested changes before releasing Malcolm X.

I didn't know that! At least SOMEONE sought our approval for a film depicting us
