Alaska, “Pushout” Community Film Screening

Let’s connect on the Alaska context. “Pushout the Criminalization of Black girls in schools” centers the experiences of Black girls navigating disciplinary practices, SRO’s, and the mental health impacts of these experiences.

The film is described as:

“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.”
