Linda Darling Hammond: choice does not always mean choice. 90% of white students can go to a top tier charter school in New Orleans while only 25% of black students can go to top tier charters. many of these schools are also supported by people who owned the prisons.

Ifill: yes, everyone has a race. but that doesn’t mean everybody understands the complexity of race and racism. you must read constantly, otherwise you’re not doing it right. (and yes, there was Scalia shade in these comments and I love it)

reminding the audience that we cannot accept small thinking or solutions that merely address low hanging fruit. Remedies and investments must go above and beyond.

We have to make communities whole, after two or more generations of systematically stripping people of rights, not enough to just say departments will stop policing a certain way, says
