Denisha Jones, Ph.D, J.D. - Black Lives Matter at School

Denisha Jones discusses her role in the Black Lives Matter at School movement, detailing its origins, development, and the creation of a book documenting the initiative. The movement began with a week of action inspired by educators in Philadelphia and Seattle, expanding to a national event with guiding principles. The book, co-edited with Jesse Hagopian, features contributions from over 30 educators and highlights the movement's impact on schools and communities. The initiative has grown from a week of action to a year of purpose, with ongoing efforts to support educators and affirm Black lives in education.
