Film Description



“We Remember Raines” is a documentary about the legacy and history of William M Raines High School. A few of the key figures interviewed in the documentary include Raines’ longest tenured principal and former Duval County Public School Schools Board Member Jimmy Johnson; State Representative Mia Jones, a 1986 alumnus; current athletic director of Raines and an early alumnus, Doug White; longtime guidance chairperson, Deborah Norman, and current Duval County School Board Member Betty Seabrook Burney, who is a 1974 graduate of the institution.

According to director Emanuel Washington, “It is imperative for the Raines Vikings to tell this story.  The film will go in depth on why the Vikings of school number ‘165’ have so much pride and how we will survive the challenges of this generation.”
