Abstract
All students deserve access to a high-quality education that promotes social, emotional, and academic development (SEAD). However, several barriers limit this access and can have lifetime repercussions for marginalized youth, especially Black youth. As our nation continues to grapple with racial equality, the physical and mental consequences of discrimination and racism experienced by the vast majority of Black children constitute a moral crisis in American education. Confronting educational inequities is necessary to enhance SEAD in Black youth.
