      "Black girls are widely viewed as more mature, less innocent and less in need of protection," says @ProfKrisHenning. This all contributes to higher rates of suspension, expulsion and eventually higher incarceration rates.

      "I've spent a lot of time looking at the mythology surrounding poor black people. A lot of people who have no intimate understanding of black people hold on to stereotypes. Many of these stereotypes are drawn from high poverty black communities." @SheryllCashin

          "What's happening in high poverty black neighborhoods is that you have black women trying to raise children, often alone, up against every systemic barrier you can imagine. You have to be super human to overcome in these environments." @SheryllCashin

          Homicide rates are so much higher among black domenstic violence survivors. This doesn't reflect a special homicidal impulse from their partners. Black women do NOT have access to the resources that can provide a safety net between survivors & their abusers."- Prof. Jill Morrison

          .@SheryllCashin offers context on why some of the black community chooses to stay silent or rallies behind accused black men (R.Kelly, Clarence Thomas, OJ Simpson) "I think for the black community it's very hard to see a black man be brought down."

          "Black women's maternal mortality is 3-4 times higher than other races." "This isn't related to income and education. So why is is this?" "Studies have shown that racism they face contributes to the high rate of mortality." - Prof. Jill Morrison

          Prof. Jill Morrison: "Work on identifying issues that seem personal but are really structural." "When we ask 'where were her parents?' 'why was she in that hotel room?' Check yourself when you have those instincts, and start a conversation when you hear others have them."
