Running for 3 years, the ‘Saving Tomorrow, Today’ platform was created through partnership between University of Phoenix and Urban One (parent company of One X Studios) in an effort to discover and promote solutions within the K-12 education system. The journey began with an acclaimed half-hour documentary that premiered on TV ONE followed by the launch of savingtomorrowtoday.com. The site, for which One X produces engaging video content, is now the largest resource for news and stories on people of color in education.

The Premise
What happens when the nation’s most valuable natural resource, our students, fail to thrive in the environments intended to protect and teach them?
it’s a question journalist Charles H.F. Davis iii, ph.d. sets out to answer and solve in saving tomorrow, today: the curriculum of new America—a documentary that takes a look at how educators, parents, creatives and critical thinkers are collectively working to create spaces where marginalized students can grow. Through these discussions, Davis will come face-to-face with the challenges African-American and latino youth face today with the goal of identifying non-traditional, yet relevant solutions to those challenges.
If the beginning of a child’s education is ultimately their foundation, it’s imperative that the answer to our nation’s failing education system is identified and remedied.
