Abdul Kalam said: “If a country is to be corruption free and become a nation of beautiful minds, I strongly feel there are three key societal members who can make a difference. They are the father, the mother and the teacher.”

If America cannot lift Black and Latin fathers, mothers, and
teachers, then it cannot lift up their children.
In Selma we sing at the Jubilee Education Summit every year:
Fathers you're not too heavy
Mothers you're not to heavy
Teachers you're not too heavy
We will lift you up
I have been moved to tears time and time again in Selma
every time we sing:
You're not heavy
We will lift you up!
What does leadership that lifts up Black and Latino children
look like?
It looks like Bronx Principal Jamaal Bowman.
What does true moral leadership look like?
What does leadership that heals, inspires, and lifts those
fathers, mothers, and teachers look like?
It looks like Bronx Principal Jamaal Bowman.
It looks like Bronx Principal Jamaal Bowman.
What does moral leadership look like in our public schools?
What does compassionate leadership look like in our public
schools?
What does a defender of childhood look like in our public
schools?
Who is the Lion who defends the childhood of Young Black and Latino minds in the Bronx?
Who is the Lion who defends the childhood of Young Black and Latino minds in the Bronx?
Who educates the body, the kids, and the souls of young
Black and Latino children in the Bronx?
Who loves New York's beautiful Bronx roses that grow between the cracks in New York City cement streets?

I met that Lion yesterday at Crotona
Park in the Bronx?
What does it mean to lift Black and Latin fathers and mothers up?
It means you lift up their children.
It means you let children run, jump, play, and learn.
What does it mean it mean to lift up teachers?
It means you help them lift up the children they teach.
It means you focus on the Whole Child.
It means nourishing a school culture where teachers can teach.
It means nourishing a school culture where teachers can be compassionate.
It means nourishing a school culture where teaching and learning becomes immersed in a love of children, a love of parents, a love of teachers, and a love of what childhood is meant to be.
Imagine school reforms policies that fight that culture of love of what childhood should be?
I am walking to DC fighting for what childhood ought to be, and yesterday I found leadership that gets it, leadership that walks the walk, talks the talk of “children you’re not heavy, we will lift you up.
Lord I thank you for sending me an army of children, teachers, activists, and that Lion Jamaal Bowman to lift my walk for justice not just more tests yesterday.
Thank you children and teachers from the Corner Stone Academy for Social Action for lifting me up,
One Man Walking In The Name Of Love to DC,
Jesse
What is the walking man listening to today? It's the roar of a Lion protecting the pride.
Today I am reading Jamaal Bowman's " The Tryanny of an Empty Park; A Play Manifesto by Bronx Principal Jamaal Bowman"
