Paul Robeson, not only actor and singer but scholar as well (Phi Beta Kappa
from Rutgers, then a Columbia law degree) was also the son of a slave.  I
think he would be thrilled to have literacy as one of the social issues
funded by these grants.  FYI re Robeson himself:

So--forwarded from the Foundation Center, for those of you with true
creative skills:

Paul Robeson Fund to Provide Support for Social Issue
Film, Video, and Radio Projects

Deadline: May 15, 2003

 A program of the Funding Exchange
 ( http://www.fex.org/ ), the Paul Robeson Fund supports
 media activism and grassroots organizing by funding the
 pre-production and distribution of social issue film and
 video projects and the production and distribution of
 radio projects by local, state, national, or international
 organizations and individual media producers.

 The Fund solicits projects of all genres that address
 critical social and political issues, combine intellectual
 clarity with creative use of the medium, and demonstrate
 understanding of how the production will be used for
 progressive social-change organizing. The maximum grant
 award is $20,000; most grants range between $5,000 and
 $15,000.

 The Fund makes grants to radio projects in all production
 stages and to film and video projects in the pre-production
 or distribution stages only. The Fund does not support
 production or postproduction costs for film and video
 projects. Applicants may submit only one project for
 consideration and may not be listed as producer or director
 on any other project submitted to the Fund during that
 funding cycle.

 Applications are accepted only between April 15 and May 15.
 See the Funding Exchange Web site to download complete
 program guidelines and/or an application form.
