All is closely related and interwoven--even Ferguson tragedy

See http://myemail.constantcontact.com/Open-Letter-regarding-Michael-Brown-and-Ferguson.html?soid=1101747410130&aid=mtvuPhWFApA When addressing the terrible tragedy in Ferguson, the Rev. Dr. Nancy Wilson, MCC Global Moderator says: "Racism continues to plague our nation and communities. Instead of lynchings, we have prisons; instead of segregated schools, we have the systematic dismemberment of public schools. Our prisons, schools, and public works are being signed, sealed, and delivered into the hands of for-profit carpetbaggers of the 21st century, while teachers, parents, and children are left with little or nothing if they are Black, Brown, or poor. Overwhelmingly, Black and Hispanic students now have a price on their heads. Why? These students have been promised to the prison system because for-profit prisons and detention centers have contracts that guarantee filled beds."
