1/ Welcome to all our new followers! Spread the word to friends and family!

A little about our community. On Wednesdays and Saturdays at 7pm ET during our lockdown (and beyond, but we’ll cross that bridge when we get there) we watch a #histflix movie on @Netflix

2/ And take part in the conversation on Twitter using #histflix

The films are chosen with High Schoolers and their families in mind. Parents hold the ultimate decision on what’s appropriate for their children.

3/ If you’re looking for more like this, check out @HerbertHistory and #HATM He was my inspiration for this community and does tremendous things connecting historians and the public to talk about Historical movies.

4/ On Tuesdays and Fridays I reveal the next #histflix movie with a series of clues. Feel free to play along!

Some new friends from @waynestate and beyond have joined in to lend their expertise. Keep sharing! The more the merrier.

5/ I give away a $20 Amazon Gift card to one randomly selected student participant after each movie so they can find something good to read.

6/ Thank you to @sra_burak @Mr_BBurak and @Chris_Layson for contributing to the cause. To date, we’ve given away $140. I can tell you, our 7 winners have been have been SO EXCITED

7/ If you’d like to contribute to the prize fund, you can Venmo me @ William-Dobbie or Cash App at $wadobbie. 100% of donations will go directly to kids.

8/ I’m thrilled at what this has become in only a short time. I’ve gotten tremendous feedback from kids-we’re making a big difference! Thanks also to @LouDPhillips for joining us last night for La Bamba. You helped take this to another level!
