Fantastic News from the National Contest!

NHD Philly is thrilled to announce that two of our students' projects were recognized at the recent virtual NHD National Contest, and one of our teachers was a finalist for a national teacher of the year award!

Julia R. Masterman student Giuliana Alleva won a 3rd place prize in the Senior Individual Documentary category. Her documentary entitled Don't Buy Where You Can't Work': Leon Sullivan's Fight Against Job Descrimination chronicles the struggle against economic inequality and racism in Philadelphia in the 1950's and 1960's.
