Spotlights the tireless work of Black teachers in a historic New Orleans public school, one of countless public schools now part of a school closing crisis in cities nationwideTime and again, teachers of color have been blamed for every conceivable wrong in urban schools, a tactic that ignores the history of racism and bolsters the expansion of charter schools that lack community roots. Covering the rich, fifty-year legacy of George Washington Carver Senior High School from 1958-2005, What We Stand to Lose investigates how public school closures have impacted predominantly Black urban neighborhoods in New Orleans. This institutional history demonstrates the cultural value of school communities over time, including the ways they have navigated and excelled despite racism and state neglect.Through oral history interviewing and archival research, antiracist organizer and author Kristen Buras offers an in-depth look into counter stories that oppose white majoritarian allegations of school failure. She conducted oral history interviews with more than 30 Carver alumni and teachers, unveiling the intergenerational culture that nurtured self-determination and an abiding sense of community in the face of endemic racism. In turn, Buras demonstrates Black teachers invaluable and often unrecognized contributions.In compelling detail, Buras highlights the dire consequences of school closings, illuminating why the assault on veteran teachers, and the communities they have fostered, is the civil rights issue of our era.

As he examined his findings, Johnson couldnt help but wonder about the brilliance of the every day. Specifically, the creativity of the 90s graffiti-style airbrush tee, his aunties packed weekend bus trips to Atlantic city, and the razor-tongued, socially-sharp, profanity-laced monologues of comedian Dick Gregory.Again and again, he asks us to ponderare these not obvious examples of genius?

Johnsons signature wit and curiosity turns history into an amusing sequence of events.

Confronting Satan and the Evil Dynamic in American Politics & Life is a powerful and unorthodox examination of the spiritual forces at work behind the moral decay of modern society. This bold and original work dives deep into the reality of good and evil as tangible forces influencing political leaders, national decisions, and the very quality of our lives. With clarity and conviction, the author lays bare how Satans influence operates unchecked within the political realm-through manipulation, deception, and moral compromise-while society turns a blind eye to the root cause of chaos, conflict, and corruption.If youve ever questioned why peace feels out of reach or why leaders in high places seem guided by something darker than logic, this book offers answers rooted in spiritual truth and real-world observation. Drawing a clear line between thought and manifestation, the author explores how ideas, like seeds, grow into action-and how Satans power begins in the mind before it plays out in the world. This is not a book of fear, but of urgent wisdom and awareness-a wake-up call to confront the evil dynamic at its source and reclaim moral clarity in both personal and public life.
