Our first Local Black History profile is Ms. Lucille Brown
Ms. Lucille Brown became superintendent of Richmond Public Schools in 1991. She also taught at Armstrong H.S.
Lucille Murray Brown Middle School on the Southside of Richmond was named after this exceptional woman.💛

I'm not sure how you write a story about how great the schools in Highland Park, Texas, are without noting that they exist entirely to allow rich white Dallasites to maintain Jim Crow-style segregation.

1/n. I have seen several takes asserting that Brown v. Board is in danger. This is possible, but I do want to alert people to another concerning possibility.

Radical self-awareness is a big chunk of the deal. As white people, we've moved through life willfully unaware of our racial identity. Being white has been normalized.
When we dial into the ways privilege has played into our lives, we learn about ourselves.

New survey experiment by @davidhouston + @J_Henig suggests that providing families with growth data (rather than proficiency data) on school performance could lead to more integration. edworkingpapers.com/sites/de…

A diverse rezoning committee composed of students, teachers, support staff, parents/caregivers, and community members is being formed to provide recommendations and feedback to the School Board. If you're interested in serving, apply at ow.ly/zVur50GLpVm #WeAreRPS

Black folks: Please reply to this with how you old you were when you first experienced racism and what happened. Because until this issue is written from that perspective, the framing will continue to be a miss.

The white backlash over CRT is concentrated in places where schools are diversifying more rapidly. Where white parents see their kids attending somewhat more integrated and inclusive schools. The backlash, fundamentally, is an expression of segregationism. nbcnews.com/news/us-news/sch…

In 2010, Tiyanna Stewart was the only Black student from Chesterfield County Public Schools selected to attend the Maggie L. Walker Governor’s School, a common tale for many Black students entering the school. richmond.com/news/local/for-…
IntegrateRPS retweeted
“…in Richmond, where the public school system is composed primarily of Black students, the 34 white students selected for Maggie Walker this year outnumber all the Black and Hispanic students sent from Richmond in the past five years combined.”
IntegrateRPS retweeted
For 20 years, white students have been accepted into Maggie Walker at a rate nearly four times higher than Black students.
