“Good morning, Beloved Detroit.
We are ending one chapter and beginning a new one today.
Stay with us.
These are our schools.
Our children.
This is our city.
We will not be moved.”

Editor’s note: Elena Herrada wrote the above on Facebook. She is a member of Detroit’s elected school board, now exiled by the governor appointed Emergency Manager who is ushering in the destruction of the public school system so corporations can profit from privatizing them.
