Understanding the Narrative: Stopping Hatred Through Literacy & Compassion
Help me give my students literature that will help continue to empower our world leaders to think boldly about how to stop injustice, of any kind and create peaceful solutions to world issues.
This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Project
When students have access to information, resources and materials, including books, they become equipped with the tools needed to change the world. The mission is to ensure that students are identifying the Birth-to-Prison pipeline, learning its historical and modern day harms while creating solutions that help to transform the way we view the criminal and juvenile justice systems.
Students will receive a copy of the book, Just Mercy; a story that speaks to ones heart and mind, empowering all to STAND against systemic and social harms and stand up for each and every human.
