I used Revolution '67 in my International Baccalaureate Theory of Knowledge course this year. While much of what we study is global in nature, after previewing the film, I knew that my students needed a local perspective on race, economics and politics. This film does that and more. Along with viewing the film in its entirety, employing activities from the study guide and a collaborative lesson with the filmmakers and students from American History HS in Newark, Revolution '67  has been the defining study of my students' senior year. We will continue to show the film in the future and continue to learn from the work of the Bongiornos.

After viewing Revolution ’67, our students engaged in an analysis of these events by examining the perspectives of the citizens, politicians, police, and activists presented in this documentary. This prompted rich discussions and reflections on contemporary conditions in Newark. The Bongiornos’ video provides the framework for an exciting learning experience for students.

This curriculum is thoroughly researched, integrates primary source documents that complement this powerful film, and helps to deepen students' understanding of this complex period of history."

"Revolution ’67 is a case study of one city, Newark, New Jersey, but the events that transpired in Newark in July 1967 are so skillfully placed into their wider-socio-political milieu that the film succeeds in offering an explanation for the urban uprisings and riots that occurred in over 500 cities during the 1960s, as well as the racial discord and tensions evident to this day. It provides a succinct and fascinating history lesson, the nuances of which remain unknown to many students, even though topics such as slavery and the American Civil Rights Movement are widely addressed in high school curricula."
