Ruby Bridges visited my first grade class at Pritzker Elementary in Chicago. This was 2000/2001. If only I could’ve understood then that she was not even 50 ……. But this was lost on a 7 yr/old without making the explicit connection (they didn’t, to my memory).
61 years ago today, 4 federal marshals escorted 6-year-old #RubyBridges to her 1st day of school (1st grade), as the 1st Black student to attend previously all-white William Frantz Elementary School in New Orleans, Louisiana.

I have a student who wants to do an interview with a parent who identifies as non-binary. If that's you and you're willing to be interviewed about your experiences, please send me a DM. Thanks!

“If just two years ago someone had said that the Left in Chile would today be celebrating one of its biggest political victories since the nation’s democratic transition away from Pinochet’s dictatorship, many would have balked. And yet, here we are.” jacobinmag.com/2021/05/chile…

This new uni graduate certificate has come with hurdles and setbacks. I can finish it by extending another semester. Is it worth continuing towards? Do grad certificates like this truly communicate skills & marketability- particularly in my case in bridging Ed & public policy? /2
