Teachers and educators across the nation are sending love and concern and whatever good things they can think of to our beloved Karen Lewis.

 

Here is a post from Jersey Jazzman, cross-posted on Blue Jersey, a Jersey-focused blog. I was searching on the web for a picture of the two of us together, Karen and I, when I came across this short post. Karen invited me to speak to the Chicago Teachers Union. She did that a few times, and I always came to Chicago when Karen invited me. It usually meant that I would get to spend time with some of her superb young community organizers, the men and women who built a solid base of support for teachers and public education among parents and communities.
