After a night of protests, Morgan and her classmates discuss their emotions of the events that led up to the protest. Mr. Banner helps to answer their questions, explain the protest, and provide information on the message of the protest. At home, Morgan’s brother, Antoine explains that in Ms. Smith’s class they compared the Civil Rights Movement protests to last night’s protest. Ms. Smith emphasized the importance of learning from ancestors and past protests to make demands and change in today’s protests. This story was written to help facilitate the discussion, often times a difficult discussion, of protests and police brutality, with children. The beginning of the story discusses the issues with early elementary students in a restorative circle format. The end focuses on discussing the issue with older children.
