------------------------------------------------------------
The suicide rate for black children between the ages of 5 and 12 is about twice as high as that of their white peers.

Read “Black Minds Matter,” ([link removed]) the cover story for our new Fall magazine ([link removed]) , to learn more about interrupting school practices that disregard the mental health of black youth.
