\n\t\t\t\tIn an unprecedented effort led by a team of African-American business leaders in New York, organizations across the U.S. coordinated a massive national campaign to find African-American business leaders to underwrite free admission to theAcademy Award-nominated film “SELMA” for students around the country.\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n
\n\t\t\t\t \n\t\t\t<\/div>\n
\n\t\t\t\tThe new cities added are the efforts inspired by the overwhelming success of the program in New York City, in which 27 African-American business leaders created a fund for 27,000 of the city’s 7th<\/sup>, 8th<\/sup> and 9th<\/sup> grade students to see the film for free. That effort sold out in the very first weekend.\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n
\n\t\t\t\t \n\t\t\t<\/div>\n
\n\t\t\t\tStudents can share their images and response to the film using #SelmaForStudents.<\/b>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n
\n\t\t\t\t \n\t\t\t<\/div>\n
\n\t\t\t\tDue to the generous contributions by so many of the country’s most prominent African-American business leaders, more than 275,000 middle and high school students will experience the critically acclaimed film for free at participating theaters while supplies last.\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n
