ACCOLADES
Hi Cash, You did a beautiful job! This is awesome and I am r eally excited about this partnership and the finished product. I can’t wait for the community to see this great piece of work on Saturday. This is exactly the kind of film that the YWCAs’ racial justice initiative is proud to support and promote. I love history and was reminded about the beautiful legacy of protest and movement work that was born and continued right here in the state. The film made me proud to be a North Carolinian! The history of race in North Carolina is so well integrated and beautifully tied together. It’s simply inspirational! I will send more about the details of the flow on Saturday. Great Job! Crystal M. Hayes, Racial Justice Co-Director Cash,
ript type=">Journalist and community leader Cash Michaels has exceptionally researched and documented North Carolina's African American political legacy. With rare interviews and histroical footage, Cash has chronicled decades of North Carolina political struggles and achievements that culminated with 2008 historical election of President Barack Obama. All North Carolini ans should make his work apart of their personal library for future generations. A job well done!" Everett B. Ward, Vice Chairman
Michaels` premiere successful Cash Michaels, by day a journalist with The Carolinian and The Wilmington Journal, has premiered his new movie Obama in NC: The Path to History. We had to see this moving presentation last weekend and would urge you to view how North Carolina progressed to the point of selecting an African American as president. You can see it for yourself by visiting the website. From Tom Campbell's "NC Spin Cycle" Jan. 24 Newsletter The release of Obama in NC: The Path To History was an highly anticipated and exciting time for our community. The film demonstrated an enormous amount of detail and historical research needed to produce such a masterpiece. Hats off to Cash Michaels for having the vision and fortitude to put together such a film. The Martin Luther King Committee is proud to have played a part in it's unveiling."
Obama in NC: The Path to History provides a compelling review of the history of the political and Civil Rights struggles of African-Americans in North Carolina which resulted in the historic victory of President Barack Obamain this State's Primary and General elections. The film demonstrates the wisdom of Frederick Douglas who loudly proclaimed during slavery: "without struggle, there is no progress." In this film, Cash Michaels has produced a jewel which should be used as an educational resource and be made a part of every person's library. Irving Joyner, Associate Professor of Law
I have had the good fortune of knowing Cash Michaels for only a short while; but somehow on this "Yellow-Brick-Road" of life, you just know when you have met someone special-- Cash is such a person. His work on the Obama In NC: the Path to History is spectacular. I have had the privilege of observing Cash's attention to detail and his unique ability to be both "producer and audience" at the same time. He worked on a project for our non profit agency around prisoner reentry support, and I have been a Cash Michaels fan every since--Make sure you add Obama In NC: the Path to History to your historical library. Cash, you have hit a home run with this one, my friend Dennis W. Gaddy, Executive Director Cash, I was so impressed. Not by the talent expressed, because I know that’s just who you are, but by the content and collaboration of facts and photos. The film is a work of art that shares an awesome amount of history. This should be in every school in the Carolinas . As I mentioned when we spoke, I want to find time during this month to show it to some group of youth, or even adults. I’ll be in touch once I secure a venue. I ran a piece on the viewing in last week’s edition of The County News using the artwork you provided prior to the NNPA Mid-Winter Conference. I hope you will check with either Vickie, or Mary Alice to view it since you don’t have a subscription (hint-hint). Here’s to a great rest of the day. Fran Farrer, Publisher/CEO
Cash, I look forward eagerly and with great anticipation to what is certain to be an outstanding historical document that is much needed. I am just as excited as I am impressed, and I'm just so glad that you have exercised your excellent talent in a way that helps tell a story that we all need to hear and see, and in a way that enables us to get a sense of some kind of continuity in our state and local history. More than anything, with respect to the story of the Holt family, I deeply appreciate its fairness, candor, honesty, accuracy, and correctness. Thank you so much for lending your credibility as an outstanding, widely recognized and award-winning journalist to the telling of our story--- to the presentation of our family as determined, committed, and courageous pioneers, leaders and trail blazers in North Carolina's civil rights history, particularly in the school integration saga. It is EXCELLENT!! Don't change one word. Again, thanks so very, very much for including us in the way you have and for giving me the opportunity to provide feedback. Congratulations! Lt. Col. Joseph Holt Jr. Mr. Michaels, thank you very for coming to our campus to show and discuss your documentary. I think the documentary is well done as it is important to show Obama's win in North Carolina in its historical perspective. I will definitely show this video to my classes. We will be in contact with you again regarding returning to campus during Black History Month and/or a film showing and panel discussion at the upcoming National Conference of Black Political Scientists. This conference attracts African American political scientists from around the country. This year the conference will be in Raleigh. Dr. Jarvis Hall and I are on the local arrangements committee. I will contact the Chairs to see if there is a place on the program.Again, thank you for showing your film on our campus and I wish you much success with the promotion of the film. Artemesia Stanberry, Ph.D Assistant Professor of Political Science North Carolina Central University Department of Political Science 106C Edmonds Classroom Building Durham, NC 27707
Cash, Awesome event this past week at Marbles Museum! You are amazing....keep fighting the good fight and doing the great work! What made it great is the knowledge that was gained from the screening and the incredible historical information about the struggle for equal rights and justice. We will put a link on our website for citizens to be able to purchase a copy of the documentary! Again great job! Rita Anita Langer Executive Director SERA, Inc.
Rita and Cash, great community building event...Cash, your video is over the top - maybe we could show it at other venues? everyone should buy it....I think I will get some to give for holiday gifts this year. Jeanne Tedrow Executive Director Passage Homes, Inc.
Cash – may I first comment on your earlier point on Byrd’s show this evening about the beleaguered Democratic Party, who despite their standard bearer’s estimable record of achievement is yet without sufficient buoyancy to presumably carry the day; there is that old saying that if you do not value your gift, nobody else will. Enough said.
