Pushout: The Criminalization of Black Girls in Schools

Join us for Pushout: The Criminalization of Black Girls in Schools, a feature length documentary which takes a close look at the educational, judicial, and societal disparities facing Black girls. Inspired by the groundbreaking book of the same name by renowned scholar, Monique W. Morris, Ed.D., the documentary confronts the ways in which the misunderstanding of Black girlhood has led to excessive punitive discipline which in turn disrupts one of the most important factors in their lives: their education. This screening is brought to us by the Love Your Magic Conference and will be followed with a panel discussion and talk back. Food and beverages will be provided!
