2020 has officially gone topsy-turvy. Between a pandemic and a contentious election year, issues like racial and gender equality, healthcare, the economy, and education are more at stake than ever. One silver lining is that teacher’s superpowers and large cracks in our education system have been unveiled for all to see.

In episode four of VOICES, we spoke with Charity Freeman and LaShawne Long-Myles, teachers in Chicago Public Schools and Atlanta Public Schools about teaching in a time of crisis. They dig into how their districts have been handling Covid-19 and its effects on their classrooms, their experiences as Black and female educators, redlining, and what is keeping them motivated throughout these chaotic times.
