The Roof Shall Not Fall

The Roof Shall Not Fall

This is a 20-minute documentary style video that excavates Buffalo's layered and diverse African-American histories, celebrating the landscape, environment, and community based on the Underground Railroad. The video's main purpose is to create public awareness as to the deteriorating conditions of the Michigan Street Baptist Church, one of the main stops along the Underground Railroad. The church is the oldest property continuously owned, operated, and occupied by African-Americans in Western New York. Buffalo State's own Instructional Resources department donated time and talent to the worthwhile task of creating the video documentary, which would help preserve this history.
