PBS NewsHour has launched a “Searching for Justice” series. Searching for Justice explores criminal justice reforms unfolding across the country, as the leaders from both sides of the political aisle attempt to end mass incarceration by rethinking laws that some say have become barriers to work, housing, and economic stability.
The series highlights essential questions around race, justice, equity, and power for #CivicsInTheMiddle classrooms, providing rigorous lesson plans that have students tackle current and societal issues, such as this lesson featuring Bryan Stevenson on changing the criminal justice system on behalf of children.
