The Prep School Negro by André Robert Lee (2009) 53 mins. This documentary explores the past experiences of André Robert Lee and present day prep school students of color. Their accounts capture the poignant and unapologetic truth about the costs of yesterday’s desegregation and today’s racial naiveté inside the ivory tower.
