Please join @loveyourmaginc @theteachersloungema and @ccscambridge for a screening of Pushout: The Criminalization of Black Girls in Schools at the Cambridge Public Library, Main Branch Lecture Hall.

The screening will be followed by a panel discussion with: Ayesha Wilson (newly elected member of the Cambridge School Committee

Pushout: The Criminalization of Black Girls in Schools is a feature length documentary which takes a close look at the educational, judicial and societal disparities facing Black Girls. Inspired by the groundbreaking book of the same name by 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.
