“We are on the precipice of history… a moment where prospects that seemed unattainable are more possible than ever before. Unions, Equality, and Kamala: Why This Election Matters to Me (Medium Story)”
Carlos Wallace

Diane Ravitch
“While I have never been a member of any union, I was a friend of Albert Shanker, president of the American Federation of Teachers, whom I met after my history of the New York City schools was published. His successor, Sandra Feldman, was also my friend, and I am friends with her successor, Randi Weingarten, who was elected AFT president in 2008.”
Diane Ravitch, The Death and Life of the Great American School System: How Testing and Choice Are Undermining Education
