#66 - Black Families and the School System w/ Tonikiaa Orange and Tunette Powell

The relationship between the public school system and Black families has a long, tenuous history. After decades of marginalization and miseducation, how can public schools do right by Black families to better engage and strengthen the school-to-home connection? 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. ***Please consider subscribing to our YouTube channel! https://youtube.com/AllOfTheAbove *** AGENDA 0:00 - Welcome! 6:04 - LAUSD Board Votes to Cut Police Force 21:15 - eSports leagues on the rise in CA schools 30:50 - Public Schools and Black Families 1:09:49 - Students stand up to trash professor More from our guests: - Conversations for the Soul / UCLA Parent Empowerment Project: https://www.facebook.com/UCLAParentEmpowermentProject - UCLA Culture & Equity Project: https://centerx.gseis.ucla.edu/culture-equity/ - Dr. Tunette Powell on Twitter: https://twitter.com/TunettePowell Get MORE All of the Above: - Website - https://aotashow.com/ - Podcast on multiple platforms via Anchor - https://anchor.fm/aota - Podcast via Apple Podcast - https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/all-of-the-above-podcast/id1339198232 - Podcast via Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/4NO3FENVr96JJTU4ZjdnCm - Twitter - https://twitter.com/AOTAshow - Facebook Page - https://www.facebook.com/AOTAshow/ Theme Music by its tajonthabeat: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCChvx9rSyOTEO2AnYynqWFw
