Speaking of race and power

...I'm looking forward to this book coming out later this fall from Eve Ewing, on the Chicago school closings.

CPS may insist that the past has no impact on the present, but Ewing says otherwise—while the closures might not seem racist to the actors, they “were the culmination of several generations of racist policy stacked on racist policy, each one disregarding, controlling, and displacing black children and families in new ways layered upon the callousness of the last.”
