Join a virtual film screening + discussion of PUSHOUT: The Criminalization of Black Girls in Schools

 

The CT ACEs Task Force invites you to join us for a virtual film screening and discussion of the award-winning documentary, PUSHOUT: The Criminalization of Black Girls in Schools.

The film will be available from December 13th-17th to watch at your own convenience, followed by a panel discussion on Dec. 17th from 6:00-7:30pm with community members, state and local experts, and moderated by State Senator Marilyn Moore.

This feature-length documentary takes a close look at the educational, judicial and societal disparities facing Black Girls. Inspired by the groundbreaking book of the same name by the 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.
