The presence of police in public schools has become an issue nationwide. A documentary film called “On These Grounds” addresses this issue in the context of an incident in a South Carolina high school. That case received national attention when a video of a police officer pulling a Black teenager from her school desk and throwing her across the floor went viral.

ABC will be kicking off Black History Month by screening the film at the Bear Tooth Theater on February 7, 2022.
