Overview

This volume highlights five critical key issues relevant to Colorado's Black and Brown communities. As a result of the recent activity around policing and equity, marijuana, education and biases, prisoner reintegration, and activism, it offers solutions to managing those problems. The book is a resource that must be read by K-12 educators, social workers, probation officers, grass roots leaders, adult educators, and university professors in the area of sociology, education, Black studies, and the non-traditional disciplines. Additionally, the volume contains essential tools for training professionals and teaching our youth by offering insights to problem solve in urban areas. It provides pertinent information vital to the development and success of our youth struggling in K-12, higher education, and the criminal justice system. Although Colorado's Black communities are the focus of the volume, it will also serve as a model for urban communities in different states.
