WPA Mission U Book Study on Pushout: The Criminalization of Black Girls in Schools
This event recurs weekly from Wednesday, August 25, 2021 to Wednesday, September 15, 2021 from 7-9 pm via Zoom (Non-Refundable fee of $10, plus one needs to purchase the book through Amazon or Barnes & Noble). Despite increased attention to the mass and over-incarceration of black men, the plight of criminalized black women and girls is overlooked, underreported, and under-analyzed. Monique W. Morris’ Pushout shows how even with obstacles, stigmas, stereotypes, and despair, black girls still find ways to breathe remarkable dignity into their lives in classrooms, juvenile facilities, and beyond and challenges the rest of us to do the same. The class is limited to 40. Registration closes August 18th. Visit WPAUMC.org to register via the calendar.
