For decades Minnesota has had one of the largest academic achievement gaps between white and Black students. Millions of dollars and numerous initiatives have been created to address this issue, with a multitude of stakeholders. However, the gap persists. On Jan. 13, 2020, the Minneapolis Federal Reserve Bank sponsored “Children First: A Community Conversation on Educating All Children.” The conversation was focused on a proposal to change the state constitution to make it include providing a high-quality public education “a paramount duty” of the state; the proposed amendment would go further in compelling lawmakers to address achievement gaps than does the current constitutional language. Retired state Supreme Court Justice Alan Page and Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari proposed this amendment to the state constitution’s education clause with the goal of closing some of the largest achievement gaps in the nation. Dr. Sylvia Bartley talks with Justice Alan Page and Minneapolis Federal Reserve Bank President Neel Kashkari about the state of education in Minnesota and their proposal to drive change.
The African American Leadership Forum (AALF) is a cross-sector network of African Americans working together to find solutions to the Black community’s most challenging issues. The Forum’s goal to achieve a just and healthy society that works equally well for everyone is best achieved if we claim responsibility for our own lives and lift the broader community by creating a vibrant Black community. The Forum created a Collective Impact Task Force of 12 thought leaders from the community to help guide their strategic vision. Dr. Sylvia Bartley talks with three of the Task Force members (Niila Hebert, Ashley Oolman and Quincy Ballard) to learn about their role and the unique process used to develop problem statements for each focus area.
