Why do I study #racism, #homelessness, & #education?
Black homelessness is one of the deepest forms of abject poverty and oppression in American society. Understanding how youth succeed while enduring homelessness sheds light on how all kids can achieve within our public systems.

Marcellus Williams (2024)
Troy Davis (2011)
Stanley Tookie Williams (2005)

I remember Bloods and Crips all over California, publicly, saying they would lay down arms if they just let Tookie live.

I remember the phone calls to Georgia in 2011.

And now this.

Abolish it all.

New for the @NewBedfordLight, "Segregation in New Bedford."

There are more segregated schools in New Bedford today than in 1971, when the district was 1 of 4 in violation of the 1965 MA Racial Imbalance Act.

"Residential segregation is everything," Supt O'Leary told me....

"Homeless students don’t have equal access to Massachusetts charter schools"

More than 10% of New Bedford students (!) are dealing with homelessness, but charters have largely missed the problem — so have not been part of the solution
