Apr 14, 2010 "If you're a white student and you arrive at the public elementary school building on 95th Street and Third Avenue, you'll probably walk through the front door. If you're a black student, you'll probably come in through the back. So reported the Village Voice on one of New York's best-kept secrets: its public schools are some of the most segregated public schools in the country. The schools have two tiers: one for affluent white families who pump private funds into THEIR kids classrooms, and another for largely minority, poor communities-- underfunded, underserved and overcrowded: 43% have severe space problems, and the recession ensures that no help is in sight. GRITtv went to Donna Nevel, an advocate for fairer schools in New York, for her take."

In the words of Langston Hughes
O, let America be America again--
The land that never has been yet--
And yet must be--the land where every man is free.
…
O, yes,
I say it plain,
America never was America to me,
And yet I swear this oath--
America will be!
It's good to see that these issues are being reported.
I just posted your letter on facebook to help get the message out. I think it's crucial we change this conversation.
