Conclusion

Although our country continues to demonize, control, and punish young people of color, we must actively shift this damaging characterization. It is our duty as adults to challenge this culture of criminalization and to foster a culture of empowerment amongst our students. Young people of color are powerful agents of change, and as we instill this belief in their lives, they can transform their communities into how they rightfully envisioned them to be.
