A Gardener's Tale: Confronting Racial Discrimination At The Intersection Of The School-To-Prison Pipeline And Adolescent Health, Sogand Falahatpour
Richmond Public Interest Law Review
Racism is a public health crisis and it is killing Black youth. Systemic racism
in education is a root cause of a long list of inequities faced by Black

Part I addresses past reform to the system, spurred by the shocking tales of Thomas Haynesworth and others.

Part III suggests ways in which Virginia can, and should, address these challenges to ensure that the justice system is actually serving justice.
