Disrupt the Preschool-to-Prison-Pipeline with Equitable Practices:

Every year 50,000 preschoolers are suspended from public preschool programs. This does not consider all of the preschool students that are suspended from private programs. These children represent the very beginning of the school-to-prison-pipeline. African-Americans boys and girls face overrepresentation in suspension and expulsion in preschool.

Black Americans are frequently regarded as a monolithic group that thinks, votes and worships the same way. Black scholars have worked to dispel this myth by pointing out the range and complexity of Black American experiences. Black Intellectual Thought in Modern America: A Historical Perspective is an edited volume that explores the diversity of Black intellectual thought. It includes an introduction and seven essays that highlight particular aspects of Black scholarship in America.
