MV is disappointed by the Supreme Court ruling to ban the use of race in college admissions. Those who want to ban affirmative action aren't actually interested in justice. They want to erase the discriminatory history of this county & pretend that racism is no longer a problem.

Without providing ALL children a quality education and a safe space to grow and learn, we continue to neglect those most marginalized — ESPECIALLY our children in Black communities. We MUST give Black children the same education given to those in other neighborhoods!

Claressa Shields fought her way to become a two-time Olympic gold medalist and world middleweight champion.
