Just a reminder that the fight for inclusive public schools has always been hard-won. This work is not new.
If you’re feeling defeated and need a little inspiration, check out the latest episode on Raleigh’s Trailblazers.

In Trust, a new podcast from Bloomberg and iHeartMedia, is out today.
This story starts with Osage headrights -- shares in the Osage Nation's mineral estate -- but it goes far beyond that.

Thank you to Principal Sherry Schliesser of @Kingswoodbuzz for showing me how y’all compost at school (and some local history too!)
The forerunner to the modern Kingswood Elementary was the Cary “Colored” Elementary School. Joe Holt Jr’s mother was a teacher & principal here!

I feel like this article does a lot of unhelpful both-sidesing...so let me give some additional context (that for some reason, @newsobserver doesn't want to do.) A 🧵...
More than 70,000 North Carolina families want a new private school voucher. Who will get one? The record demand exceeds the state funding available so priority for new Opportunity Scholarships will go to the families with the lowest incomes. #nced #ncpol newsobserver.com/news/local/…

It’s really important we understand and confront the fact that desegregation and diversity initiatives both in Raleigh and throughout America has *always* been on the terms and at the pace of white comfort. #Washington100
