VISIA: Videos for the Week of June 15, 2014 (Featuring Ruby Dee)

Lest we forget, a star was has fallen in-body, but is now risen in eternity. The elder queen of Hollywood, Mrs. Ruby Dee, has died. So, before viewing other videos, let’s take a look back at Ruby Dee’s Def Jam Poetry appearance doing a brilliant piece on Tupac Shakur.

This week, Videos that Say It All [VISIA] looks at life in a way that makes us laugh. Think. Be amazed. Appreciate creation. And consider the importance of fathers, grandfathers, and surrogate fathers. I hope you enjoy the videos below. And we encourage you to submit candidates for next week’s featured videos that we’ll post on Saturday, June 28th.

And parents, with all the discussion around challenges facing Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (or STEM) education, at the end of these videos are resources that help turn youth onto these subjects, particularly during the summer months! In July, we will be announcing a nationwide initiative targeted at improving student performance.

Now, for the week of June 15, 2014…
