A Desk for Billie is an educational American film released by the National Education Association in 1956.[2]
It is based on the story of Billie Davis, who grew up in a migrant family, and how she found educational opportunities. Davis' story first came to public light when her story I Was a Hobo Kid appeared in the Saturday Evening Post in December 1952.[3][4]
It was directed by Irving Rusinow, whose other films included Skippy and the Three R's and Freedom to Learn.[5][6] The film won a Golden Reel Award in the Education category at the Fourth Annual American Film Assembly.[4][7]
