Anger, paralysis, and heavy hearts: Students and educators grapple with Breonna Taylor decision (Chalkbeat.org)

 

By Chalkbeat staff

Once again, a justice system declined to bring charges against police officers in the killing of a Black American. Once again, demonstrators took to the streets to protest. Once again, a sense of hopelessness hung over communities.

Throughout this tumultuous year, Chalkbeat has sought to lift up the voices of students and educators as the nation has reckoned with police violence, justice, and racism in America.
