"I Can't Breathe": Police Killings of Black Men and the Quest for Justice of Black Boys in School

Mon, April 12, 11:10am to 12:40pm EDT (11:10am to 12:40pm EDT), Division G, Division G - Section 4 Paper and Symposium Sessions

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

In light of the police-killing of George Floyd and countless other unarmed Black people, this session focuses attention on the legal, social, political, and educational histories around how black men and boys have been dehumanized in schools. Although A number of recent high-profile killings have spurred global protests, this project spans two years, with earlier iterations presented in 2019—some six months before George Floyd’s murder. By addressing the state-sponsored killings of Black males, we hope to shed light on how educators can better understand the criminalization and hyper-surveillance of black male students in school?
