Issues of equity, access, and social justice in educational settings have received increased attention in the educational and psychological literature over the past several years, though there is still much to learn (Proctor, 2016; Song, Miranda, Radliff, & Shriberg, 2019). Although a number of matters are relevant to consideration of social justice in schools, historical and ongoing deficits in recognizing, understanding, and addressing systemic racism in American society are at the forefront. As expressed by the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights (2018), "The education available to millions of American public school students [is] profoundly unequal." (p. 9) Both historically and currently, racism permeates our educational institutions, inevitably affecting immediate and long-term school experiences and outcomes for students. Black students carry with them the unacceptable police shootings of Black men and women such as Jacob Blake, George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and children such as Michael Brown and Tamir Rice, and countless others. This collective grief and resulting distrust of unjust power structures in the U.S. is compounded by racist educational practices that affect Black youth and other students of color day in and day out in schools, including but not limited to unjust disciplinary (e.g., suspension and expulsion) and special education eligibility decision making practices (Blake, Gregory, James, & Hasan, 2016; Sullivan & Proctor, 2016); implicit educator bias, and resulting microaggressions and macroaggressions (Compton-Lilly, 2020); limited representativeness of educators from minoritized backgrounds in schools (LaSalle, Wang, Wu, & Neves, 2020); and inequitable access to educational opportunities such as gifted and honors classes, and preparation for higher education (Ford, 2014). What is more, the ongoing COVID-19 Pandemic has disproportionality, negatively affected individuals from minoritized backgrounds as evidenced by health (Wan, 2020) and financial disparities (Stafford & Swanson, 2020), which can reverberate
