About the resource
Through the lens of our nation’s most storied lands and some of the iconic places preserved by the National Park Service, “Twenty & Odd” builds on the innumerable contributions of African Americans to the foundation of the United States. Developed by a group of National Park Service (NPS) staff and interns—mostly young African American women—and set against 400 years of suffering, healing, and strength, the film explores the trauma, resilience, and beauty of the African American experience in our country.
In the companion to the video, the creative team shares its approach and choices for the scenes, locations, and history. Together, the film and the companion guide serve as an opportunity to educate, motivate, and empower people from all walks of life to adopt and maintain healthy lifestyle behaviors, cultivate personal connections with national parks and embrace parks as welcoming sources of health and healing.
