I Hate Cotton 7/9/19
We watched a movie about a family in this area. It was called LaLee's kin: The Legacy of Cotton. It was a film that was made by HBO that focused on hunger and poverty in America. The Tallahatchie School Superintendant was Reggie Barnes. He was our featured speaker in the afternoon. Reggie discussed issues beyond the classroom that impacted the students and their performance at school and their lives. The film was nominated for an Academy award.
