A large part of what was successful involved listening carefully to what urban students of many different backgrounds had to tell me, and figuring a way to communicate to them the methods of science, mathematics, and history. Basically, students taught me how to do that. If we listened to what the homeless and the imprisoned in our society are telling us, instead of putting them out of mind, we would have a community safer for all and one with greater economic opportunity. A society which cherishes everyone in it, not just its wealthiest members, is a more successful society for all. We turned around this country in the 1930s, but we didn’t do it by assuring salaries in the millions for ourbankers."https://sites.google.com/site/laborradiogroup/ Below...
