This week, Catalyst Chicago published an interview with Ronnie in his role as an honorary student member of the Chicago Board of Education. He shadows board president Rufus Williams, attends board meetings, and will soon sit down with his fellow honorary student members to craft an action agenda and bring it to the board by June 2009. Check out his take on funding, safety and health as they relate to Chicago schools, among other issues, by clicking here.

I just saw an interview with this bright young man on CNN. I'm so very proud and impressed by his positivity and realistic view of his community. I just want to say bravo young sir. I'm just and old white punk rock guy who had to leave 'the south' out of fear. But I'll be watching for you and your wisdom as the years play out. Stay safe and focused.
Sincerely,
Steven
