Paying educators attractive, competitive salaries is an important sign of respect. It acknowledges their value and vital importance and allows them to keep their focus on their students’ success.

On this day in 1939, a young Black man named Lloyd Gaines disappeared just months after winning a desegregation case allowing him into an all-white law school. He was never seen again. To overcome racial inequality, we must confront our history. https://t.co/cYth5eNPWu
