Toni Barber

Toni will create and produce a documentary on the small, historically Black community of Hayti in Coatesville, PA in which she grew up. Tina Morton, a veteran filmmaker and a fellow Hayti community member will work with Toni on developing this piece. Toni wants to use this documentary as a way to preserve the stories and lives of her family and neighbors through interviews with Hayti’s elders, research and historical documentation. She hopes to build a sense of community and understanding of Hayti’s unique history amongst its new and long-time residents.
