EveryBlackGirl Inc.
was founded as response to the brutal attack of a BlackGirl by a school resource officer at Spring Valley High in Columbia, South Carolina in 2015.
The resulting arrest of the student being assaulted and a classmate, who dared to record the incident and speak out, made the incident at Spring Valley High a perfect example of how school pushout was impacting
Black Girls.
Joining with local organizers on the ground, EveryBlackGirl rallied against the arrests and demanded all charges be dropped against the arrested youth.
EveryBlackGIrl,Inc.’s efforts were recognized by local activists seeking to challenge the Disturbing the School law, which allowed for the student's arrests and age requirements for juvenile arrests.
