• "I Am Sean Bell!" - NYC

  A note I received on Facebook.  I think it's a great idea and there's one planned in DC later this month....

  Friends:

  The ENOUGH! Campaign™, an initiative developed by Wildseed Productions,
  is a collective of independent artists, activist, and organizations
  dedicated to the eradication of social injustice through artistic
  expression.

  We create radical media of consequence that challenges each of us to
  take a stand for the transformation and liberation of the human spirit.

  WE NEED YOUR PARTICIPATION TO HELP MAKE OUR FIRST PROJECT A SUCCESS:

  I AM SEAN BELL!

  The ENOUGH! Campaign is proud to announce the production of a short

  brother, SEAN BELL. This project will feature 50 African American males
