Vernon Jordan, the former National Urban League president and civil rights leader, has died at 85.
Vickee Jordan Adams, the icon’s daughter, confirmed his death on Tuesday, March 2, 2021. “My father passed away last night at around 10 p.m. surrounded by loved ones, his wife and daughter, by his side,” Adams noted in a statement. NAACP President Derrick Johnson said the world lost an influential figure in the fight for civil rights and American politics.
“An icon to the world and a lifelong friend to the NAACP, his contribution to moving our society toward justice is unparalleled,” Johnson declared. “In 2001, Jordan received the NAACP’s Spingarn Medal for a lifetime of social justice activism. His exemplary life will shine as a guiding light for all that seek truth and justice for all people.”

It appears there are those with political agendas contrary to Baltimore City’s best interests who have seized upon an out of context report in the national media declaring that Baltimore City Public Schools enjoys the 3rd highest per student spending allocation in the United States, and have scapegoated this fallacy to argue against the Blueprint for Maryland’s Future proposed by the Kirwan Commission and ratified by the Maryland General Assembly, overriding a veto by Governor Hogan.
The first problem with this designation for Baltimore is the caveat that ranks its budget total “among the 100 largest school systems.” What is the significance of the size of this district?
