Students at Portland’s newly renamed Ida B. Wells-Barnett high school recently held a community conversation about race. The event was hosted in partnership with the Pacific Northwest chapter of the Anti-Defamation League, which led a training for students to become No Place For Hate peer educators.
Ida B. Wells-Barnett students Senya Scott and Nura Salah along with Vice Principal Ayesha Coning join us to discuss their ongoing racial equity work and what the school’s new name means to them.
