Suspended Justice: Breaking the School to Prison Pipeline
Primary tabs
I worked with former channel 8 reporter Natasha Alford on this piece this past summer and she is now doing great work with The Grio now in NY city. This piece explores the over-policing invasion of schools.

Gandhi Institute of Non-violence, and Teen Empowerment.
