Episode Details

This week on Black v. Board of Education (BVBOE), we’re joined by Sacramento Area Youth Speaks (SAYS)—the unapologetic poets, organizers, and truth-tellers using their voices to challenge power and reclaim space.

We’re digging into the local DEI cuts happening right here in Sacramento County and their impact on Black students, even after the county’s own study highlighted the disparities and systemic barriers our students face every single day.

So why, after the data confirmed what our community has been saying for decades, are we still watching programs that center Black students get defunded, dismissed, or deleted altogether?

We’re calling it what it is—anti-Blackness in action.

Join us as we unpack the politics, the policy, and the people behind the rollback—and remind everyone that our babies deserve more than performative equity.

This isn’t just a conversation. It’s a reckoning.
