In the news release, Simmons Lathan Media Group Brings the Vision and Determination of the Most Inspiring Contemporary African Americans to DVD February 2005, issued earlier today by Simmons Lathan Media Group over PR Newswire, we are advised by the company that "HistoryMakers" in the first paragraph, second sentence, should include a registered mark and read "HistoryMakers(R)," and that two paragraphs were omitted from the document that was originally issued inadvertently. Please note:

The following paragraph should immediately follow the second paragraph of the original release:

"The HistoryMakers DVD Series marks the first time our comprehensive archival footage of leading African Americans will be available to a mass consumer audience," said Julieanna Richardson, Executive Director and Public Historian of The HistoryMakers. "That the series focuses on Courage, Success and Faith, places the contributions of these important individuals in a unique historical context."

And, the following boilerplate should immediately follow the fourth paragraph of the original release:

"About The HistoryMakers

The HistoryMakers is the nation's largest African American video oral history archive. The HistoryMakers is dedicated to recording and preserving the personal histories of well-known and unsung African Americans whose achievements might otherwise go unrecognized. Not since the recording of former slaves during the WPA Movement of the 1930's has there been a methodic and wide-scale attempt to capture the testimonies of African Americans. To date, 1,000 interviews have been added to the archives. This one-of-a–kind digital archive is a priceless, educational resource. In addition to making the content of The HistoryMakers archive accessible via its website www.thehistorymakers.com. The HistoryMakers has an active educational outreach initiative including The HistoryMakers Education Institute, Pioneers in the Struggle multimedia educational package, and The HistoryMakers Speakers Bureau. For more information about The HistoryMakers, please call 312-674-1900."
