NNPA NEWSWIRE — While paying homage to the elders in the Rondo community, Bianca Rhodes used the film as an opportunity to teach the youth about the history of Rondo, a thriving, local Black community in the epicenter of Minnesota’s state capital. She partnered with the High School for Recording Arts to get a group of students who wanted to learn about filmmaking and their local communities. Rhodes taught the youth – many who conducted interviews and operated the cameras – about the history of the community, and after learning about what the construction did to the once thriving community, she said they were eager to get to work.
