Baruch College School of Public Affairs presents the Lillie and Nathan Ackerman Lecture Series on Equality and Justice in America. "Race in America: Advancing Equality in the 21st Century" is a two-part discussion on the status of civil rights in America a half a century after Brown vs. Board of Education.     Part two begins with a talk by J. Phillip Thompson (Associate Professor, Urban Politics, M.I.T.) who argues that without Black wealth and "raw economic power," civil rights activism can only go so far as to create opportunity for African-Americans. Anurima Bhargava (Assistant Counsel, NAACP Legal Defense & Educational Fund, Inc.) lectures in response to Thompson, emphasizing that civil rights efforts to desegregate public schools and higher education systems are the first steps towards creating that wealth. Alexander Polikoff (Lead Counsel, Gautreaux Litigation, Chicago) joins in for the Q&A session. Professor Sonia Jarvis (Lillie & Nathan Ackerman Visiting Distinguished Associate Professor) introduces the speakers and moderates the discussion. Recorded on November 9th, 2006 at Baruch College.     This program was digitized, captioned, and made accessible in 2021 as part of "Uncovering CUNY'S Audiovisual Heritage," a preservation project funded by Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR).

Racial Equality in America: How Do We Keep the Wheels of Progress Rolling?" - a Ford Hall Forum public lecture and audience Q&A with Reverend Al Sharpton, October 14, 1993, Old South Meeting House, Boston, MA. ................................................................................................................. For several years in the 1990s, volunteer crews from BNN-TV, Boston's public access TV station, videotaped the Ford Hall Forum's fall and spring lecture series. I served on many of those crews, and from 1994 to 1997 I was the Series Producer. For most of those years we used a 3-camera production van, recording onto 3/4" videotape. Towards the end, however, we switched over to using just two stand-alone SVHS camcorders. During the fall 2000 presidential election campaigns, then as BNN-TV's cablecast manager I rebroadcast many of these programs, packaged as "The Clinton Years: A Retrospective." Now, with the Forum's kind permission, I've digitized these programs and uploaded them to YouTube. This Google Doc Spreadsheet - http://bit.ly/FHF-90s - lists these programs in chronological order and links to their YouTube videos. The tapes that were digitized for this YouTube series were a mix of VHS and SVHS copies, some made on a home VCR from the cablecasts. Thus, the quality of their video signals varies quite a bit from program to program. Many thanks to Boston Neighborhood Network and the Ford Hall Forum - their boards, staffs, and volunteers - for their many decades bringing enlightenment to Boston-area residents! - Rob McCausland Ford Hall Forum: https://www.youtube.com/user/fordhall... http://www.fordhallforum.org https://www.facebook.com/fordhallforum.

The Education Equality Index is the first national comparative measure of the achievement gap between students from low-income families and their peers across the state, measured at the school and city levels. Through the Education Equality Index, Education Cities, in partnership with GreatSchools and Schoolzilla, has amassed one of the largest collections of income-focused proficiency data at the school and grade levels. They have also developed a nationally-unique methodology that allows the comparison of student performance across cities even though they use different assessments and have set different achievement standards. This first report using the Education Equality Index data focuses on schools with significant concentrations of students from low-income families. The data identifies schools with small or nonexistent achievement gaps where at least 51 percent of the student population receives free or reduced price lunch (a common measure of economic disadvantage). They have chosen to focus on these schools because 51 percent is the national average of students from low-income families. To be clear, there are many schools that serve fewer than 51 percent students who receive free or reduced price lunch with small or nonexistent achievement gaps. However, it is believed important to highlight schools with significant concentrations of students from low-income families as their efforts and achievements are worthy of special attention. A decision was made to highlight up to 10 schools in each city. In future reports, it is planned to release additional data and analysis of schools that serve the full spectrum of student populations. The Education Equality Index is not intended to serve as a broad measure of school quality; rather, it is a narrow measure of equality of student outcomes. For too long, discussions about school quality have failed to account for the persistent achievement gap between children from low-income families and their peers. Education Cities believes that any conversation about school quality must include a focus on equality as well. Too many state accountability systems give credit to supposedly high-performing schools, even if those schools maintain significant achievement gaps between children from different backgrounds. The Education Equality Index makes it easy for parents, educators, and policymakers to bring equality into any discussion of school quality at the city or state level. Key findings include: (1) In most major U.S. cities, the achievement gap between students from low-income families and their peers stagnated or grew between 2011-14; (2) Nearly every major U.S. city is home to a large or massive achievement gap; (3) Some of the biggest U.S. cities like El Paso, New York and San Francisco are among the 10 cities with the smallest achievement gaps; (4) Of the 100 major U.S. cities, eight have small achievement gaps, 25 have large achievement gaps and 67 have massive achievement gaps; (5) Some cities with high concentrations of free and reduced lunch students are those that are most equitable; (6) Two of the three major U.S. cities with the smallest achievement gaps--Hialeah and Miami--are both in the same school district--Miami-Dade County Public Schools; (7) Only two in 10 students from low-income families attend schools that have successfully closed the achievement gap; (8) The majority of major U.S. cities are home to fewer than 10 school serving primarily students from low-income families that have a small or nonexistent achievement gap; (9) Schools with massive achievement gaps in one year are highly likely to have a massive achievement gap the next year; (10) Half of the schools recognized in the 100 biggest U.S. cities as having a nonexistent or small achievement gap are elementary schools; and (11) On average, only six percent of students from low-income families in the biggest 100 cities in the U.S. attend a school with no achievement gap.
