Black communities and communities of color are continuing to push in this movement moment to address the education system and how it is complicit in the criminalization of Black youth, thus feeding the School to Prison Pipeline and contributing deeply to anti-Blackness in the public education. This program will focus on the uniqueness of this moment as Black communities face increased challenges in the midst of the pandemic, coupled with a long-standing push out from schools. Our panelists will explore both what is at stake in this moment, and the challenges and opportunities for this movement going forward.
