Bernard Stephens “The Documentary History Project for Youth is an annual after-school, weekend, and summertime digital media production workshop for middle and high school students. Each year, youth participants create short documentary films as a way to explore some aspect of the social, political, and cultural history of Philadelphia.

The Documentary History Project for Youth is made possible by support from the People's Media Fund, Hamilton Family Trust, Rosenlund Family Foundation, Christopher Ludwick Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, and Adobe.” (Scribe Video Center)

I have worked with Scribe Video Center as a facilitator/instructor with their workshops and community projects. Most recently I co-instructed the 2025 Documentary History Project for Youth: Why We Dance, Where We Dance.

“Through the Precious Places Community History Project, each group will plan, shoot, and edit a video about their “precious place” with the help of a filmmaker and a research scholar hired by Scribe.  While these facilitators will work closely with participants throughout the course of production, the work itself—the planning, writing, and filming—will be done by members of the community groups.

The Precious Places Community History Project is funded by the People's Media Fund, Dolfinger-McMahon Foundation, and The Alston Beech Foundation.” (Scribe Video Center)

I was a production facilitator for the 2024 Precious Places Community History Project: Preserving the Past, Present and Future of West Philadelphia High School by The Justice-Oriented Youth Education Lab.

The Grand United Order of Tents, also known as the Tent Sisters, was a secret society of black women founded in 1847. For many decades they met weekly in the area of Chester PA to form strong community bonds, support and uplift each other, and sing church hymnals. Of the many Tent groups that once existed, only one remains today.
