as a parent, a young person going to brooklyn, i went to the gifted and talented program in brooklyn and manhattan. i grew up in the city with civil rights teachers in my community, a black male principal, a black music teacher. we still got our mouth washed out. it was a paternal type of relationship in the community. that is politics, you know, when you have leaders in the community and local leaders that are invested in what's happening. the war on drugs changed the dynamic, socioeconomics of all communities, particularly blacks and inner-city. that changes whether teachers leave to. the teachers inside the city made more, made a good amount. sometimes, teachers that work outside of new york make more. it is so multi-leveled, the issue. the black people were more literate after emancipation, from my research, tha europeans who came in thatn second wave of immigrants. you see the level of reading that we focused on. i forged things to get my daughter in certain places when i came back from overseas as a professor to make sure she could go to a particular school. it is survival of t

yes one shirley chisholm the first black us representative if you think about brooklyn had the largest black population in the united states and no representation in congress because they would change the districts around so they would always end up a way in which they could dilute the black vote and so my mentor who's gone on now the story you don't know is her name was jocelyn clapton cooper and so the first case to redistrict brooklyn was cooper versus power and power was the name of the election official and so my mentor and her husband and a group of others sued the election officials in order to redistrict brooklyn and so that case power brooklyn of cooper versus power became the first case and then another case expanded beyond that and from that case rose shirley chisholm to become the first black. email us representative, but we also need to understand this about shirley chisholm. she began as a school teacher. and her people were originally from barbados. and so when people hear about a school teacher you could think about wow, you know school teachers used to be politicians.

i'm from brooklyn. sometimes it helps me and sometimes it hurts me but i would be less of an individual if i tried not to be from brooklyn. the same exact thing could be said about harry and searchlight nevada. in fact, writing about his hometown, harry says that "much attention is paid in public life to the important collection of attributes that we call character." somewhat less attention is devoted to the consideration of where the character is born. character and values come from places you wouldn't necessarily think to look because some of the men and women of the greatest character that i will ever meet in my life came from this place of hard rocks. he was talking about his friends and family and the people he knew growing up, but i don't think truer words could ever be spoken about the man himself. in my life, he's one of the men of greatest character that i've ever met. powerful but with uncommon humility, honest and loyal, unsparingly funny, a fighter with a great big heart. a titan of the sena
