MILWAUKEE
–
Ruby Rodriguez remembers the days when English class meant walking to her desk, talking to friends and checking the board.
Now class begins when her classmates names appear online. She sits alone at the dining room table, barefoot and petting the family dog. It s her freshman year at St. Anthony High School, a private Catholic school in Milwaukee. She doesn t know what her classmates look like, because nobody ever turns on their cameras.

Williams, one of America’s premier public intellectuals, died last week at 84, just hours after teaching an economics class at George Mason University, where he taught for 40 years, and the day after his final syndicated column appeared.

That last column, like so much of his work, and that of his best friend and fellow black economist, Thomas Sowell, dealt with the decline of human capital in the black community since the inception of the Great Society.
