“On the 70th anniversary of the Bus Boycott, Gray said the most important thing for people to do, aside from continuing to fight for civil rights, is for people to know their history, and use it to impact the future.”

Fred Gray represented Rosa Parks 70 years ago. Now 94, he fears US is 'going backwards'
"... If one person can come and change everything, then we (as a nation) are in serious trouble," said Gray.

Charlotte-Mecklebburg Schools, according to reports, saw 15% of its students absent today amid Border Patrol operations in Charlotte. If that percentage of 15% happens Tuesday in Wake County due to the Border Patrol coming to Raleigh, 24.000 students could be absent from school. #nced #ncpol #wcpss

Especially important school board races--to help determine how our public schools include and educate all children--and judicial races on the ballot in PA.
The polls are open, Pennsylvania!
Our democracy is stronger when we all participate – so if you haven’t already, be sure to cast your ballot before 8pm.

Grateful for this coverage of recent early childhood research from Center for Education and Civil Rights. With amazing recent grads Rohitha Edara & Karen Babbs Hollett.
New research from Penn State finds early childhood classrooms across the U.S. remain highly segregated—over 25% are 90%+ one race or ethnicity. These patterns shape opportunity from the start and call for equity-driven policy change. bit.ly/4hbLbH1

As @dartmouthartsci.bsky.social alum, very glad to see this. Many of the things this compact seeks to change would have lessened my college experience. Important moment for higher Ed.
It appears that my employer, Dartmouth, one of the Trump 9, has said no to the compact. All the better given that our president is cited within it. But she’s saying no. Count the small victories when they come.

Congrats to @lexapot.bsky.social & the incredible providers she works with to stabilize ECE providers and to work towards funding full cost of care for CA’s youngest. This will support kids, families and providers.
Victory! Child Care Providers ratified our third contract with the state after months of negotiations, rallies, and vigils. This comes after both #CALeg and Governor Newsom have ratified this agreement!

So disappointed by this decision to wind down our local NPR station due to fed & univ cuts. I joined several NPR programs over my years here to talk about my research.
I’m also frustrated for our community & as a parent who has a kid who adores listening to/ learning from NPR when he’s in the car.

WPSU in Pennsylvania becomes the first public media outlet to shut down as a result of the rescission of federal funding.
WPSU TV and radio serves one of the largest geographic coverage areas in the nation, stretching across 24 counties of central Pennsylvania.

In voting down a proposal to transfer the station to WHYY, trustees expressed concern over a $17 million subsidy and wanted a commitment to hire staff.
