GOOD TROUBLE的动态

Complacency is not an option. If one believes in true equality then we must speak up and speak out against such blatant injustices. After all, are we not all entitled to the same opportunities? Does not EVERY child in America deserve a right to equal quality education. Financial, Educational fraud should be exposed. Teachers, parents and students alike have a responsibility to shed light on such blatant inequalities. As a former educator, I witnessed first-hand the lack of resources available to students and teachers in low-income communities, in public schools with higher populations of minority students. Imagine being a parent of one of these children. Anger, outrage and frustration would be expected emotions from any parent of these children. Time to make a change. Time to adopt a different perception and viewpoint. #qualityeducationforall #equalityforall #educationalfunding #systemicracism #accountability

Yes, Black History Month is officially over...but we are still Black. I read a post stating this recently and it resonated. What does it mean for those who are Black and affected by the Windrush Scandal, struggling, finding it difficult or just unable to access and apply to the Windrush Schemes? By identifying this gap in provision of services, Liverpool Advocates For Windrush (L.A.W.) and Rachel Stalker from Liverpool John Moores University and LJMU Legal Advice Centre, collaborated to address this significant barrier to justice! Rachel Stalker created and invited me to run a bespoke Windrush Clinic at LJMU Legal Advice Centre. For the past month, I have tutored level 6 or 3rd year undergraduate students and conducted clinical sessions. This had been an amazing journey, with no two sessions being the same. This clinic is student-led. The students engagement has been phenomenal with a keen interest in learning more about the WindrushScandal, Windrush Schemes, how the law supports or does not, Windrush affected individuals, their human rights, recourse to justice through the courts and more.... A heart-felt???? thank you to all of our students, the LAC team including my colleague Martyn Rodmell who teaches this module with myself and most importantly, Rachel Stalker. She has enabled L.A.W. to upscale the level of our support. And we have assisted 11 persons affected by the Scandal for October, in one way or another and booked several appointments. We hear unique to harrowing experiences, some that I have not experience before, since working in this space from 2019. Professional Support Needed: If you want to support our work, give back to our communities, then please reach out to Rachel Stalker or myself. Ps. I am not affected by this tragic and grave injustice, called the Windrush Scandal. I believe that you do not have to be affected by an issue to do something about it. What happens if you are affected by one of the many horrid unimaginable scandals tomorrow? As Martin Luther King Jr. said: "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere". #JusticeForAll #OneHumanRace #ActionNotPromises #LetChangeBegin #EqualityAndEquity #RuleOfLaw #OneRuleForAll

"Over the last dozen years, the Broward model has naturally ebbed and flowed based on size, needs, and, of course, a global pandemic; however, the best change is that a program that was designed to support high school students in their first year or two of competition now supports students as young as kindergarten in almost all categories of competitive forensics."

A Black History Month Special: The Shocking Truth 50 Years After The 1968 Fair Housing Act: The Black Homeownership Paradox - Despite widespread, legal housing discrimination in the 1950s and at least part of the 1960s, the number of black households that owned their own homes increased 20% from 1950 to 1970 but, somehow, 50 years after housing discrimination was outlawed, the black homeownership rate is essentially the same today as it was the day the Fair Housing Act became law. ?

Interesting profile of Mike Majors, one of the workshop participants who came to the Getty Center for our Conserving Black Modernism training in April!

When we say that white supremacy, racism, and classism are deeply rooted within the creation of America, this is what we mean. It doesn’t matter which party or ideology the most powerful people claim. Ultimately they all *must* lean into & leverage oppression in order to uphold the structures that are keeping them at the top. Otherwise, the majority of those who hold power would have to give some of it up… & we are seeing exactly what fear looks like when the powerful start to question their hold on the historically disempowered: swift acts of violence, threats of incarceration, censorship, and attempts to distract with carefully crafted issues (I.e. the narrative regarding rampant anti-Semitism on college campuses that are calling for divestment/ceasefire).

EDUCATION | THIS DAY IN HISTORY On September 4, 1957, the Little Rock Nine, a group of nine African American students, enrolled at Little Rock Central High School in Arkansas, marking a significant moment in the American civil rights movement and the struggle for educational equality. This event was a direct challenge to racial segregation in public schools following the Supreme Court's decision in Brown v. Board of Education (1954). For further reading, you can refer to: 1. **"Warriors Don’t Cry" by Melba Pattillo Beals** - A memoir by one of the Little Rock Nine that details her experiences. 2. **National Park Service** - [Little Rock Central High School National Historic Site](https://lnkd.in/dUxjhGx) for historical context and resources related to this event. 3. **"The Little Rock Nine: A Primary Source History of the Fight Against School Segregation" by Karen L. Harris** - This book provides insights into the events and their impact on education and civil rights. These resources offer more context about the significance of this educational milestone. #education #thisdayinhistory

As we wrap up Black History Month, let’s reflect on what this month means with some of our BLSA- Black Law Student Association members. Below President, Lauren Stewart, shares a couple thoughts about what Black History Month means to her. #blackhistorymonth #blackhistory2024 #BLACKHistoryMonth365 #blackhistoryiseveryday #BLSA #blacklawstudentsassociation #blacklawstudentsmatter #blacklawstudentassociationpresidents #ASLStudentLife #lawstudentlife #asllaw #lawschool #asl #AppalachianSchoolofLaw #appalachianschooloflaw

Has the Supreme Court rectified this reprehensible decision over the course of American history? ?? Here’s the situation: You and your wife Harriet should be free because you were taken to free territory, and Missouri’s law said that you would be free if that ever happened, buuuut because you all are Black and it’s 1857, you don’t have rights that White people have to respect, and you’re not a citizen, so you gon’ remain a slave, according to the Supreme Court. ????♂? That Supreme Court decision in March of 1857, on the status of Dred and Harriet Scott would ultimately become one of the political decisions that led to the Civil War in 1861. And the origins of that monumental case started primarily because Dred met Harriet here at Fort Snelling, where they were illegally enslaved in WIsconsin territory in the 1830s, in land that was supposed to be free according to the Northwest Ordinance and Missouri Compromise. So, how did we get here? ?? Dred Scott was born enslaved in Virginia, and was purchased by an enslaver in Missouri. That enslaver, who was in the military, then moved Dred to Illinois, and then Wisconsin territory, at Fort Snelling in what is now Minneapolis. After returning to St. Louis, Dred attempted to purchase his freedom, but was denied. He then sued for his freedom in 1846, because Missouri law plainly stated that if an enslaved person was relocated to free territory then they were free and could not be enslaved upon returning to slave territory. Dred won the State Supreme Court case, but when it made it to the U.S. Supreme Court, he was denied, because he was Black. This decision was overturned in 1868 with the passage of the 14th amendment, but does it feel like it to you?
