Black youth in America are constantly criminalized at school and on the streets. Today, Wednesday host Ali Muldrow spends the hour with law professor Kristin Henning for a powerful conversation about her work in youth justice advocacy and her new book, The Rage of Innocence.

Kristin Henning is the Blume Professor of Law and director of the Juvenile Justice Clinic and Initiative at Georgetown Law, where she supervises law students and represents youth accused of delinquency in the D.C. Superior Court. She is the author of The Rage of Innocence: How America Criminalizes Black Youth (Penguin Random House, 2021).
