Here is a site I recently came across now that I've emerged from my dungeon of dissertation writing. There mission statement and the rationale for their existence is clear--close the achievement gap linked to race and economic disparity:
What is our mission?
The Education Equality Project is leading a civil rights movement to eliminate the racial and ethnic achievement gap in public education by working to create an effective school for every child.
Why did we start EEP?
By any measure, our public education system is in a state of crisis. It is time for us all to confront the reality that this challenge cannot be met by continuing to rely on solutions that have not worked in the past, or by implementing incremental changes and hoping for dramatic results.
To read more about the organization and what it's trying to accomplish (including its goals)--or better yet, if you want to help out and get involved--go to their website at
