WILL AM-FM TV will expand its Youth Media Workshop by inviting area African American boys to conduct preliminary research on the history of the Douglass Park Community Center and conduct interviews for a television documentary. The project will bring attention to the struggle of African Americans to create social space during de facto segregation and maintain this space after desegregation in the 1960s.
