CEO @ Ampley Heartstone Capital | Commercial Non-Bank Financing | We help secure financing using our network of providers
I was in the first integrated middle school class in Howard County, MD. -- literally 10 years after Brown v. Board of Education. Contrary to popular belief, integration was a gradual and often halting process. You may remember the words in the SCOTUS decision "with all deliberate speed". Public school integration gave rise to private so-called Christian schools to stem the tide of racial reconciliation. After middle school, my parents enrolled me in a predominantly Jewish school, where racism was not as keenly evident. Despite the initial progress made in desegregating schools following Brown, we have seen a steady reversal in recent decades, with schools becoming increasingly segregated once again along racial and socioeconomic lines. The data is stark. This resegregation is not a natural or inevitable phenomenon, but rather the result of specific policies and practices, including the dismantling of court-ordered desegregation plans, discriminatory housing policies that reinforce racial divides, disinvestment in federal programs supporting integration, and legal decisions limiting strategies for fostering diversity. As the UCLA Civil Rights Project warns, we are "betting our educational and social future on inaction" when decades of research shows the immense benefits of integrated schools for all students. The undoing of Brown's promise and the resegregation of American schools is an ominous development that perpetuates racial and socioeconomic inequalities. It demands urgent attention and concerted efforts from policymakers and society to reverse this damaging trend and uphold the ideal of public education as a great equalizer.
70 years ago today, Thurgood Marshall's leadership in Brown v. Board set a precedent for justice, paved the way for desegregation in public spaces, and laid the groundwork for equal educational opportunities for all. Education has a transformative power, and I'm proud that our Administration has made historic investments in public education that will resonate for generations. Every child in Maryland, regardless of zip code or background, deserves a pathway to a brighter future. Photo Credit: Bettman/Corbis photo courtesy of the Library of Congress.

Say it loud! 📣The arts are essential and a human right! To limit students access to arts education is to deny critical opportunities for social emotional development as well as other critical aptitudes: Confidence, creative problem-solving, cultural awareness, communication, conflict resolution, collaborative empathy and self-awareness. Decreasing support for arts education limits the ability for low-income communities to envision the many possible pathways that exist in both arts and non-arts professions. The proposed cuts disproportionately impact students in those communities.
Arts education is critical to young people’s success. Join us and call on the New York City Council & Mayor Eric Adams to save #ArtsEd programs on the chopping block. #ItStartsWithTheArts! Learn more at bit.ly/iswta.
