Summary:
"Fifteen-year-old Diamond stopped going to school the day she was expelled for lashing out at peers who constantly harassed and teased her for something everyone on the staff had missed: she was being trafficked for sex. After months on the run, she was arrested and sent to a detention center for violating a court order to attend school.
Black
girls
represent 16 percent of female students but almost half of all
girls
with a school-related arrest. This book exposes a world of confined potential and supports the growing movement to address the policies, practices, and cultural illiteracy that push countless students out of school and into unhealthy, unstable, and often unsafe futures. Monique W. Morris, author of
Black
Stats, chronicled the experiences of
black
girls
across the country whose intricate lives are misunderstood, highly judged-by teachers, administrators, and the justice system, and degraded by the very institutions charged with helping them flourish. Morris shows how, despite obstacles, stigmas, stereotypes, and despair,
black
girls
still find ways to breathe remarkable dignity into their lives in classrooms, juvenile facilities, and beyond"--Provided by publisher.
