Black Families and the School System w/ Tonikiaa Orange and Tunette Powell - All of the Above Episode 66

The relationship between the public school system and Black families has a long, tenuous history.

We’re joined by the super dope duo of Dr. Tonikiaa Orange and Dr. Tunette Powell, hosts of “Conversations for the Soul” on Facebook Live, to explore the dynamic between the public school system and Black families. But first, Jeff and Manuel explore recent headlines in education including LAUSD’s recent decision to cut its school police force and a growing momentum for eSports at the secondary school level.
