In 2015, a video showing a white police officer in South Carolina pull a Black teenager from her desk and throw her across the floor went viral. That incident inspired Vivian Anderson to uproot her life in New York City to move to South Carolina to support the girl and dismantle the system behind the assault. On These Grounds tells that story and traces the troubled history that led to it. It examines the presence of police in American schools and shows how Black organizers are creating a more just and equitable future for themselves and our entire education system.
