Unlimited Hope for a Boundless Future
Advancing
equity in
education
m arC h. m orial
New pencils, new
books, an apple for the
teacher, and unlimited
hope for a boundless fu-
ture – it’s back to school time
across the country. And wheth-
er their children are boarding a
school bus on a country road or
by
a public transit system heading
across the city, parents are united
in their hopes and aspi-
rations for their children.
And the Urban League
Movement shares those
dreams.
A high-quality educa-
tion is a civil and human
right. One of the National
Urban League’s empow-
erment goals is that every Amer-
ican child is prepared for college,
work and life.

dent Succeeds Act was signed
into law, we worked to ensure that
there were strong regulations that
would provide necessary safe-
guards for students and families.
With a different administration,
we have redoubled our efforts
-- supporting national and state
advocacy, engagement and educa-
tion reform actions throughout the
Urban League Affiliate Movement
and with other civil rights organi-
zations.
ESSA is an opportunity for
states to close opportunity and
achievement gaps by increasing
access to effective teachers and
advanced coursework, closing
funding gaps, supporting English
learners and addressing students’
social and emotional needs.
Equitable implementation is
key to ensuring the promise of
ESSA for all children.
Our goal within the Urban
League Movement is to advance
equity in education. We make it
plain: equity does not end at ac-
cess to education, but rather it is
evidenced by successful comple-
tion. For we know that students
who receive a high-quality K-12
education are likely attend col-
lege, achieve professional success
and become engaged members of
their communities.
It’s no coincidence that the cor-
nerstone of President Lyndon B.
Johnson’s War on Poverty was the
Elementary and Secondary Educa-
tion Act. He called education “the
only valid passport from poverty”
when he signed the Act in 1965, a
year that also saw the creation of
other Great Society initiatives like
Head Start and Upward Bound.
In the 10 years after the creation
of those programs, the poverty rate
in America declined significantly.
We know that a commitment to
educational equity and excellence
yields dramatic results. We won’t
forget it, and we won’t let the de-
cision-makers in Washington or
state capitols or city halls forget
it, either.
We are all familiar with the
United Negro College Fund’s slo-
gan, “A mind is a terrible thing to
waste.” But it’s not only a waste
for the individual whose potential
is untapped, it’s a waste for the en-
tire nation. As former Oklahoma
governor Brad Henry said, “No
other investment yields as great a
return as the investment in educa-
tion. An educated workforce is the
foundation of every community
and the future of every economy.”
