Racial Justice and Abolition Democracy Curriculum Project Established at Columbia University
Columbia University will develop a model curriculum—“Racial Justice and Abolition Democracy”—to address racial inequality in the criminal justice system thanks to a $5 million, three-year grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
In partnership with community organizations and higher education institutions across the country, the upper-level curriculum seeks to reimagine punishment in the United States.
