I'd like to know more about this project--who made these videos, and who hosts this website? I am planning to teach a course on "Hunger in America" this fall at Hunter College, City University of New York, where I am a professor of Sociology. I am wondering if my students might be able to do something similar; we have universal free breakfast in New York City, but it seems to me that video might be a tool we could use to increase participation. Also, I'm writing a book on school meals and would like to know a bit more about the Rhode Island School Breakfast Campaign. I interviewed staff and community activists at the Wiley Center when I began this project in 2003, but it has taken me so long that I'm greatly in need of an update. Did the State cut breakfast funding as was threatened in February (2008)? What is the status of H-7403 and S-2347? Best wishes, These video clips are terrific.
