We got a call from Senator Barack Obama's office saying they weren't interested in our strategy and they wanted a lot of data, a lot of evaluation data and other things. Uh, and it became pretty clear to us that a decision was going to be made to announce as part of his campaign. This is the first time he was running for president, that they were going to replicate our work in 20 communities across the country. Uh, and this was really early in the campaign. This was before Super Tuesday. Uh, everyone at that time assumed that Hillary Clinton was going to be the president. Only a few people thought Barack Obama was going to be president. And I was thinking to myself, oh, just my luck, the one person who's not going to be president, it's interested in our work.

  • Read Tough's New Afterword
    Whatever It Takes a new afterword by Paul Tough The morning of January 20, 2009, was a cold one in Harlem, but the sun shone brightly, and inside the Promise Academy gymnasium, shafts of light sliced down through the heavy curtains that had been pulled across the windows facing 125th Street. A few hundred metal folding chairs, arranged in rows, were filled with mostly middle-school students, and they all were turned toward the front of the room, where a giant projection screen hung down from the ceiling. One floor above, in the cafeteria, two hundred four-year-olds from the Harlem Gems prekindergarten sat watching their own big screen while teachers and parents plied them with juice boxes and sandwiches, trying to keep them awake and meltdown-free right through nap time, determined that even the youngest kids would be able to say, in later years, that they had witnessed history. It was rare that Geoffrey Canada would miss an event like this at Promise Academy, but on this particular Tuesday morning, he was far from Harlem. To explain his absence, Canada had made a short video for the children. Now the lights were lowered, the students grew quiet, and Canada’s face appeared on the big screen. He was alone, sitting in front of a bookshelf, no jacket, just a light blue button-down shirt and a tie. “The reason that I’m talking to you by video,” Canada began, “is that as you’re watching this, I am currently at the inauguration of the country’s first African American president.

  • The Politics of Charter School Growth and Sustainability in Harlem
    REGIMES, REFORM, AND RACE: THE POLITICS OF CHARTER SCHOOL GROWTH AND SUSTAINABILITY IN HARLEM by Basil A. Smikle Jr. Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2019 © 2019 Basil A. Smikle Jr. All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT REGIMES, REFORM, AND RACE: THE POLITICS OF CHARTER SCHOOL GROWTH AND SUSTAINABILITY IN HARLEM By Basil A. Smikle Jr. The complex and thorny relationship betWeen school-district leaders, sub-city political and community figures and teachers’ unions on the subject of charter schools- an interaction fraught with racially charged language and tactics steeped in civil rights-era mobilization - elicits skepticism about the motives of education reformers and their vieW of minority populations. In this study I unpack the local politics around tacit and overt racial appeals in support of NeW York City charter schools with particular attention to Harlem, NeW York and periods when the sustainability of these schools, and long-term education reforms, were endangered by changes in the political and legislative landscape. This dissertation ansWers tWo key questions: How did the Bloomberg-era governing coalition and charter advocates in NeW York City use their political influence and resources to expand and sustain charter schools as a sector; and how does a community with strong historic and cultural narratives around race, education and political activism, respond to attempts to enshrine externally organized school reforms? To ansWer these questions, I employ a case study analysis and rely on Regime Theory to tell the story of the Mayoral administration of Michael Bloomberg and the cadre of charter leaders, philanthropies and wealthy donors whose collective activity created a climate for growth of the sector.

    7 Pro-Business Policies as Ideology . when I was a young man, only the very old men still believed in the free-market system. When I was in my middle ages I myself and nobody else believed in it. And now I have the pleasure of having lived long enough to see that the young people again believe in it. And that is a very important change. FRIEDRICH VON HAYEK, 19781 Ideologies perform essential political functions of informing the public, mobilising supporters and energising leaders and other activists . An effective ideology will mobilise political supporters to share the general beliefs and goals of a party, interest group or politician. PETER SELF2 In 1947, a group of 37 like-minded people from the US, Britain and Europe – economists, historians and journalists – met in a fashionable resort at Mont Pèlerin in Switzerland. They had been invited there by Friedrich von Hayek, an Austrian-born economic theoretician who worked at the London School of Economics. Hayek’s 1944 book The Road to Serfdom, was said to be ‘the first intellectually respectable defense of free-market doctrine to have appeared in decades’. The book, which argued that government planning leads to dictatorship and that free markets should reign, was republished in condensed form by Reader’s Digest. The Book-of-the-Month Club distributed over a million copies. In it Hayek looked back to the glories of free market England in the 19th century, ignoring the mass poverty and atrocious working conditions of the ‘dark satanic mills’. Nor did he recognize the role of colonies, tariffs, export bounties and government legislation in maintaining this laissez-faire idyll.3 Joining Hayek at Mont Pèlerin was Ludwig von Mises, an Austrian libertarian economist and mentor to Hayek, whose writings at this time were being promoted and disseminated by the Foundation for Economic Education (FEE – see Chapter 4); Leonard Reed who had founded the FEE in the previous year; and Henry Hazlitt, FEE vice-president.

  • Craig's Fundraising Letter.Pdf
    July 2011 Dear Friends and Family, I have an amazing opportunity in a few weeks and I want to invite you to be a part of it and give you an opportunity to support the project financially. I have been invited to travel to the Democratic Republic of Congo in Africa to help an historic housing project and village become more self-sufficient. My responsibility will be to coordinate the set up of the sawmill operation portion of the project. Many of you know I have been living and volunteering at Koinonia Farm for the last three years as well as assisting the Fuller Center for Housing with some of their projects. We have a similar sawmill that I have made operational and is now milling lumber for the Farm and customers. My experience developing, maintaining and training people to use the sawmill at Koinonia Farm will be important in making the mill in Bolomba, DRC operational. There are many expenses required to pull this off including, air transportation to Congo and within Congo, food and water for the 7 days, some tools and other supplies. Any size contribution to this project and my participation will be very much appreciated. All contributions are tax deductible through the Fuller Center, a registered 501c3 non-profit organization. To make a donation see the link below or mail to Fuller Center at 701 S Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. Americus GA 31719; with Craig’s Congo Mission Trip in the memo line. Thank you for your support and for your prayers for this historic journey.
