Student Documentaries

Students in McComb Legacies have produced three short documentary films. Each film has won at the Mississippi state level of the National History Day competition and entered in the national competition.

The films have also been shown at public events in Mississippi and Washington, D.C.

McComb Legacies students welcome the opportunity to share the films at public events, followed by a discussion of its production and implications today. If you are interested in coordinating a presentation at your school, community group, church, or association, submit your request on the contact page.

The films can be viewed on line using the links below.
