There are many ways to formulate your search. Keep in mind though that because this is a full text database, using - and - to connect your words will, in most cases, result in a large number of items and many will not be relevant.
Best to try and bring the word/s closer together.
Use
/s = same sentance
"school to prison pipeline" /s (race or racial or Black* or "African American*")
/p = same paragraph
"school to prison pipeline" /p (race or racial or Black* or " African American*")
hlead(...) - limit to headline and lead paragraphs (you can use -and- here since you are limiting where the words appear
hlead("school to prison pipeline" and (race or racial or black* or "African American*"))
Filters on the left:

etc.
This search:
