About 'This Is My Black'
Students at Berks County's Pine Forge Academy display that Black youth with agency can persist even in a world trying to stifle them. Opening with a glorious and rhythm-filled musical number, the students spotlight their gifts as well as their awareness of the precarity of Black life. Further expressed in choir rehearsal, where personal struggles yield results, a vulnerable moment allows the students to reveal the hardship of navigating a world where Black death consumes the media.
