    This video captures a different era, and so understates the contribution of some of the people who appear in the 1970's attire. Most people might not recognize the incredible things achieved by people like Dick Schiefelbusch, Todd Risley, Mont Wolf, Betty Hart and Vance Hall as well as the African American leaders in the Juniper Gardens project.
    Richard Schiefelbush built the Bureau of Child Research, the first state chartered institution in the United States to conduct research on the improvement of the wellbeing a states' children. Indeed, virtually every practical research based strategy to help children with developmental disorders presently in the US owes that to the vision Schiefelbush to invested in bringing people together to do the hard work. Todd Risley and Betty Hart's famous Meaningful Differences study spurred so much of the commitment to early childhood programs and parenting supports, wrapped around high-quality child care. Mont Wolf left a huge legacy of developing programs to help children at risk, and the single most powerful prevention prevention in classrooms to protect against mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders -- the Good Behavior Game. Vance Hall stimulated so much of the work that led to powerful strategies for learning that turnaround the odds for poor kids. To this day, Classwide Peer Tutoring that emerged from his work and carefully studied at Juniper Gardens by Greenwood and others is the most cost-effecting teaching and learning tool for ameliorating the differences for children who enter school behind.
    Equally invisible to the world is the hard labor and forging for true community-based programs that objectively made by the African American men and women living and working in Juniper Gardens. I don't know exactly how many children's and families' lives were changed for the better-but it would be astounding from the labor of all these people. Everyday, I use this science and these practices in the same service that all of these people worked so feverishly to create and prove.
    Drs. Wolf and Risley were on my dissertation committee. I took a course from Betty Hart and learned greatly from the the Meaningful Differences study that was done just on the other side of my office. Dick Shiiefelbush smoothed all the of complexities for me when I had projects both in New Zealand and the US, while a research associate at the Bureau of Child Research.
    From Juniper Gardens and Vance, I learned a good deal on how to work in communities with historic disparities.
    All of us stand on the shoulders of giants, and it is good to honor them.
