From our earliest days, Black history has always been American history – and Black folks have profoundly shaped our American culture through music, art, literature, sports, and beyond. One month a year is not sufficient to celebrate the power of the movements and the people who have fought for the rights we enjoy today. That’s something that we have to do each and every day, as we strive to live up to their example and make sure our children and grandchildren remember their stories.
JUST IN: Colorado paraprofessional Kiarra Jones arrested for assaulting children with disabilities.
This makes my blood boil.
Jones worked as a bus aide to help children with autism and other disabilities travel between school and their homes.
Newly released footage shows Jones punching and stomping a disabled 10-year-old boy.
Three families are now taking action against Jones, claiming they started noticing behavioral changes from their children about 6 months ago.
They also noticed physical injuries including scratches, bruises, a lost tooth, broken toe, black eye, and other bruises.
Jones was arrested on April 4 after surveillance footage showed her hitting a student in the abdomen and mouth.
