TEACHERS RISING

TEACHERS RISING by Mumia Abu-Jamal [col. writ. 5/16/18] ©2018 Mumia Abu-Jamal It began in America’s poorest states and is spreading like wildfire. First came Kentucky, then a slew of others: Arizona, West Virginia, Oklahoma, Colorado -- if you think about it, these are, for the most part, conservative states; and yet these are places where teachers, among the most poorly-paid state or local workers at a public institution, are walking out and uniting to demand better pay, and better state support for their mission -- teaching kids.

TEACHERS-AT-ARMS

TEACHERS-AT-ARMS ©2018 Mumia Abu-Jamal   Teaching is one of the hardest jobs in America, for they perform one of the most challenging jobs -- teaching the young -- and they do so while being woefully underpaid. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median average wage for a teacher is $53,000 per year.  Given that most men are paid between $10 and $20 -thousand dollars more than women (and most US teachers are women), it should surprise no one that the average cop gets about $70,000 [...]

Poetry Corner: The War in America

The War In America by Bill Crossman I didn’t see the war in America when I was four dressed in my soldier suit posing for photos on my Dad’s shoulder at the Carolina Base my eyes drawn past the barracks at Black men in stripes and shackles stumbling off the flatbed truck at the edge of the woods, their clanking chains in the turpentine pines around us laying a silence as Black women boiling lye and fat for soap set aside paddles, Black pitch-gatherers rested machetes to [...]
