Harmony Kennedy, 16, a high school student, poses for a portrait in Nolensville, Tenn., on Tuesday, May 16, 2023. When the Tennessee legislature began passing legislation that could limit the discussion and teaching of Black history, gender identity and race in the classroom, to Harmony, it felt like a gut punch. "When I heard they were removing African American history, banning LGBTQ, I almost started crying," she says. (AP Photo/George Walker IV)
