On an independent, non sectarian, tuition-free day school in Harlem founded by Ned O’Gorman in 1966, dedicated to breaking the cycle of poverty through education. Graduation day. Rows of parents, one holding a baby, and older children applaud. CUs of very young children (around for years old) walk to get diplomas and little gifts from their teacher, a white man who hugs and kisses them and shakes their hands. CUs of children singing and looking happy, including girl with a large daisy; children dance a little. Shot of girl photographed against a graffitied brick wall. Shots of children being kissed by parents and teachers. Children sing “We Are The World,” hold hands, dance in place.
