Williams was declared New York City’s new Public Advocate, officially ending a democratic free-for-all that began when former Public Advocate Letitia “Tish” James vacated her position in 2019 to become New York’s Attorney General. Now Williams is the city’s official watchdog, as well as first in the line of succession should Mayor de Blasio die - or vacate his post to run for President in 2020. Nearly two dozen candidates ran for the position; in such a crowded field, many progressives feared that the Democratic vote would be split between various progressives, clearing a path for Republican Eric Ulrich to become Public Advocate. But while Ulrich came in second, receiving just shy of 20% of the vote, Jumaane Williams won a whopping 33% of voters. Melissa Mark-Viverito came in third with about 10% of the vote; no other candidate came close. While Jumaane Williams won by a sizable margin, a larger share of the electorate didn’t even bother voting.

  • Trayvon Martin, Mike Brown, and Creative Productivity
    5 Trayvon Martin, Mike Brown, and Creative Productivity The publication of Between the World and Me on July 14, 2015, cata- pulted Ta- Nehisi Coates into the realm of nationally renowned author. He had been increasingly gaining public notice since the publication of his Atlantic articles “Fear of a Black President” (2012) and “The Case for Reparations” (2014). The publication of Between the World and Me, though, ensured him national and international acclaim as a writer and cultural figure. The book appeared on the New York Times best- seller list on August 2 and remained there for sixty- five weeks. More than one hundred review- ers and commentators published assessments of Between the World and Me, which was awarded the National Book Award for Nonfiction, and Coates enjoyed one of the most remarkable receptions a black author had gained in the history of African American writing.1 The extraordinary acclaim that Coates received based on his relatively short book overshadowed his massive corpus of online writings. There are available systems—book reviews, college courses, common reading pro- grams, and prestigious awards—for studying, discussing, and elevating books such as Michelle Alexander’s The New Jim Crow, Coates’s Between the World and Me, and Colson Whitehead’s The Underground Railroad. Those 134 BLACK BOYS systems far outmatch the possibilities for appraising comparatively suc- cinct, concentrated compositions like blog entries and news articles. Yet those short compositions serve indispensable roles in raising collective consciousness about current events. In particular, our understanding of the shooting deaths of Trayvon Martin in 2012 and Mike Brown in 2014 owes special debts to the creative productivity of Coates’s blogging and Trymaine Lee’s reporting.

  • Learning to Talk About Racism a Small Group Study Based on By
    Learning to Talk About Racism a Small Group Study based on White Fragility: Why It's So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism by Robin DiAngelo by Rev. Jessica Wright This work and its contents are copyright of Jessica Wright©2020. All rights reserved. Any redistribution or reproduction of part or all of the content in any form is prohibited without express written permission. Dear friends and neighbors, Through my study of White Fragility: Why It's So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism, I have discovered a new vocabulary and perspective for talking about racism in the United States. Growing up in a 99% white context, where there were two students of color in my elementary school (and the white students all assumed they would date each other), I fell into many of the pitfalls that DiAngelo points out in her book. But as black people continued to die at the hands of white people, whether they were selling loose cigarettes or jogging in their neighborhood or sleeping in their bed in their home or just because they “fit the profile,” I realized that we still have so much work to do. I was grateful to participate in a study of this book offered by the North Texas Conference of The United Methodist Church in 2019, so I had a foundation for developing and leading this study in 2020. The following curriculum was developed and offered as a 6-week course via Zoom, as we are in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic in 2020.

Governance of Steel and Kryptonite Politics in Contemporary Public Education Reform James S. Liebman, Elizabeth R. Cruikshank, Christina C. Ma* © ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Abstract Public education in the United States has been crippled by a combination of entrenched bureaucratic governance and special-interest politics. To remedy these failings, school districts, states, and the federal Education Department have adopted education reforms characterized by rigorous outcome-focused standards and assessments and the empowering of public schools, charter or otherwise, to meet the standards. Despite promising initial results, however, the reforms have been widely criticized, including by the populations they most seek to help. To explain this paradox, this Article first tries to assimilate the new education reforms to the most frequently proposed alternatives to bureaucratic governance—marketization, managerialism, professionalism and craft.

NOTE KATRINA, FEDERALISM, AND MILITARY LAW ENFORCEMENT: A NEW EXCEPTION TO THE POSSE COMITATUS ACT Sean McGrane* In the days following Hurricane Katrina, as lawlessness and vio- lence spread throughout New Orleans, the White House considered invoking the Insurrection Act so that members of the U.S. military could legally perform law enforcement functions inside the flooded city. This Note contends that the White House's decision not to in- voke the Act was substantially driven by federalism concerns-in particular,concerns about intruding on Louisiana's sovereignty. But, this Note further contends, in focusing so heavily on these state sovereignty concerns, the White House largely ignored the other side of the 'federalism coin "-namely, enabling the federal gov- ernment to act where nationalaction is desirable.
