My article: "My Mother was My Everything’: Police Murder, Family Loss & Deferred Dreams" Explores the 1984 #NYC police murder of Sharon Walker. @McKmglvr @LangstonReview issue: "Montage of a Dream Deferred: Projecting Langston Hughes's Vision During COVID-19" DM for a copy!

When they align class issues with broader social justice concerns, labor unions advance equity and democracy. When they preserve the status quo, unions can reinforce social inequalities like racism. To do their job, historians must show all aspects of these realities.
"The crusade carried on by the UFT and its allies was no longer, if it ever had been, about teachers' rights. It was about race, and it was about power. As I believed then, as I believe now, it has always truly been." Charles S. Isaacs, _Inside Ocean Hill-Brownsville_, p67
The more I learn about the history of community control of schools in NYC the more apparent it becomes that, in 1968-69, the teachers' union missed a chance to showcase to the country how to build solidarity with communities based on justice and equity for children.
The Gilded Age and Progressive Era (mid-1870s- late-1910s) historiography may be the most confusing and muddled in the field of US history.

Absent more transit service, @MTA will fail to meet New Yorkers’ needs as they implement congestion pricing. The “Get Congestion Pricing Right” proposal understands that. NY can begin to make public transit a real alternative by investing in frequent, reliable & free buses.
Congestion pricing is set to start this summer and NYers deserve an excellent public transit alternative. Today, we launch a campaign to invest $90M for more frequent, reliable, and affordable bus service across NYC. Ask your state reps to support this: getcongestionpricingright.com

The MTA is a public good. We need to move beyond depending on the fare box for funding, and understand the MTA as the means for NYers to get around our city: to work, play, worship or see loved ones. Let Gov. Hochul know that you oppose a $3 fare hike: FixTheMTA.org/support
