By Josh Kurtz New Jersey Sen. Cory A. Booker (D), who has already endorsed former NAACP president Benjamin T. Jealous in the Maryland gubernatorial election, will be joining Jealous Wednesday evening for
a rally on criminal justice issues at 7 p.m. at Busboys & Poets in Hyattsville.
What has become clear is that explicitly focusing
on the educational concerns of poor and minority children regardless of where they live, and expanding that to the
criminal justice reform and other the social
issues that end up touching (and are touched by) American public education, is critical, both in helping all children succeed as well as
rallying long - terms support for the movement from the parents and communities that care for them.
