Dr. Bettina L. Love is an American author and academic who has been instrumental in establishing abolitionist teaching in schools.
In her book Punished for Dreaming, Dr. Bettina Love argues that Reagan’s presidency ushered in a War on Black Children, pathologizing and penalizing them in concert with the War on Drugs.
This book trailer is compilation of a few stories of those who offered their truth to Dr. Love’s book by sharing and starting the conversation about what repair from harm looks like in education.
