With funding from the NEH, the Jacob Burns Film Center partnered with the Brooklyn Historical Society to establish Created Equal: Image, Sound, and Story. The program expanded the impact of the NEH-funded documentary series, Created Equal, by bringing history and media education to middle schoolers in Brooklyn, New York. In the first year, the program reached 160 students in seven eighth-grade classes, all of whom attended under-resourced schools. Since 2016, the program has expanded, reaching more schools in both Brooklyn and Westchester County.
