The videos will be used by educators in the future throughout Georgia. The grant is titled: âThey Were Here: Preservation and Commemoration of the Macedonia African Methodist Church Cemetery of Johns Creek.â
Four groups from the Student Leadership Johns Creek class of 2023 will each be creating one of the videos as their community group assignment. The project will involve student-driven research and production of four documentaries that focus on different aspects of the history of the Cemetery and Johns Creek.
âWe see this as an incredible opportunity for our student leaders to meld the past with the future; learn and articulate what happened in history as they move into their futures,â said Irene Sanders, Student Leadership Johns Creek executive director.
