North Carolina Central University News February 16, 2015 School-to-Prison Pipeline Exhibit at Michaux School of Education through Feb. 25 An exhibit focusing on the phenomenon known as the school-to-prison pipeline will remain on display in the H.M. Michaux Building on campus until Feb. 25. The pipeline develops when forces such as poverty, race and strict disciplinary policies push young people out of school and into the correctional system, according to juvenile justice advocates. A conference on the issue was presented Jan. 31 by NCCU's Criminal Justice Institute, the School of Education and the Chapel Hill-based nonprofit group Hidden Voices. The multimedia exhibit titled None of the Above opened Jan. 30 with a live reading taken from the words of those who are most directly affected, including students of color, teachers, attorneys, school resource officers, parents and advocates. "All of our material is developed verbatim, in a sense, from people's actual words, stories and experiences," said Kathy Williams, associate director of Hidden Voices. "The best way to learn about an issue, we think, is to go to the people directly involved." The exhibit will be open for viewing from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday through Feb. 25.
