St. Paul Youth Services issued the following announcement on May 29.
This article reiterates what SPYS has long said, that policy around Black youth too often starts with a deficit mindset, "treating Black students, their families and communities as perpetually problem-ridden despite the fact that these conditions were forced on them." Instead, we need to invert this. "Black feminists a long time ago talked about the reality that there are signs, symbols and systems that work to make white privilege real and work to preserve it and often make it invisible."
