ACLU has created a three-minute video introducing Kyle Thompson and his story. A succinct infographic framing Brown at 60 is also offered to add context to the video illustrating the School-To-Prison Pipeline in action. Perhaps presentation of the two would be valuable as an exercise to begin a discussion of where efforts should be focused based on the work needed in the reader’s immediate community.
