A Jim Crow era one-room schoolhouse for Black children in St. Johns County near St. Augustine.
I recently ran across this vintage photo of a one-room schoolhouse in Florida (St. John’s County) for Black children. My mind immediately flashed to my deceased parents who often told stories of walking barefoot to their one-room schoolhouse in the Piney Woods of Jefferson County near Tallahassee.
Then I thought of Gainesville For All’s ongoing effort to open a high-quality early learning center at Metcalfe Elementary School that would serve mostly poor and Black children who live nearby. I was saddened. ....

James F. Lawrence: GNV4ALL volunteers working to reverse lost gains for African Americans

I recently ran across this vintage photo of a one-room schoolhouse in Florida (St. John’s County) for Black children. My mind immediately flashed to my deceased parents who often told stories of walking barefoot to their one-room schoolhouse in the Piney Woods of Jefferson County near Tallahassee.
Then I thought of Gainesville For All’s ongoing effort to open a high-quality early learning center at Metcalfe Elementary School that would serve mostly poor and Black children who live nearby. I was saddened.
It seems that so much of the progress made by African Americans in past generations has been lost. Since the Jim Crow days of my parents’ youth notable gains were made, including those by my baby boomer generation. We narrowed the achievement gap between black and white students sharply in the 1970s and the first half of the ‘80s. ....

Is it time Virginia had an Office of Trails?

A version of this article first appeared in the Virginia Mercury.
From new walking paths at First Landing to freshly forged mountain biking trails in Pocahontas State Park, Virginia’s General Assembly isn’t unfamiliar with putting money towards outdoor recreation.
However, the $10 million for regional trails included in the most recent state budget sets a new precedent for trails funding.
Although news of the money was welcomed with open arms by advocates, will it be a one-time budget blessing or the first taste of a new golden age for trails in the commonwealth?
An unexpected allotment
“We have supported trails in the past through various programs, but this is the first time we have put money directly toward recreational opportunities,” said Sen. Emmett Hanger, R-Augusta. “Gov. Northam was kind enough to put $5 million into the budget for outdoor trails. At one point we had even squirreled away $50 million dollars for trails, but it wasn’t realisti ....

Cimmaron Drive Residents Clamor for a Sidewalk, Citing Dangers

Cimmaron Drive in the old part of Palm Coast is fraying at the edges. (© FlaglerLive)
Cimmaron Drive is one of those collector roads that ITT designed in Palm Coast as if to give engineers nightmares, like Florida Park Drive: it’s narrow, single-family residential homes almost hug the road in close succession, and there’s not much you can do with rights of way because there barely are any. There’s no room for sidewalks, and even swales seem to have a hard time soaking it in.
Stretching among some of the city’s more walkable areas between Palm Harbor Parkway and Cimmaron’s entrance to The Sanctuary, the gated community, it was a matter of time before residents would start complaining about the road’s degradation and its impact on their ability to walk it, ride it or skirt its often indifferent traffic. That time is now. ....
