THE PANOLA PROJECT has won the “Spirit of Sidewalk Award” for Star Dorothy Oliver After Vaccinating Nearly 99% of Panola, Alabama Against COVID-19
Now I know you’re going to listen to your Aunty!
I watched the Panola Project and Ms. Oliver reminded me so much of my grandma who would use that voice talking to neighbors and friends when asking them to do something. Nobody could say no especially when they got the lock and the city of Panola Alabama should count their blessing that she, Drucilla Russ-Jackson, and LaDenzel Colvin reminded their neighbors that vaccination isn’t just for your health but others
I’m delighted to watch this documentary from writer/directors Rachael DeCruz and Jeremy S. Levine that allow us the opportunity to look over the shoulder of the dynamic trio who worked to vaccinate over 94% of their small town using personality and facts.

So many elected officials should take a page from their book and work to get as close to a 100% vaccination rate in the USA. Especially for at-risk populations that include those unable to get vaccinated for medical reasons.
