Formerly, he served as the 2014-15 North Carolina Teacher of the Year and the representative for 95,000 public school teachers throughout the state. For a full year, he traveled the state and country speaking before thousands of teachers, students, business leaders and policymakers about the importance of education.
While in this position, he lobbied the state legislature to help secure the first post-recession raises for teachers and was made chair of the Governor's Teacher Advisory Committee. The Governor (McCrory) acknowledged Ford during his 2015 State of the State address for his hard work and recognition. In Spring 2015, He, along with 54 other state teachers were invited to the White House to be honored by President Obama in the Rose Garden during Teacher Appreciation Week.
Ford taught World History at Garinger High School in Charlotte, NC starting in 2010. Ford earned a bachelor of science in mass communication from Illinois State University in 2003 and a master’s degree in teaching from Rockford University in 2009. He is currently pursuing his PhD at UNC-Charlotte in Urban Education.
Ford was recognized as Charlotte Magazine’s 2014 Charlottean of the Year, and the 2014 National Alliance of Black School Educators’ Teacher of the Year. Ford is a self-professed “equity warrior” who believes education is a human right. He writes and speaks extensively on the topics of race, class, and education equity and advocates for the most underserved student populations. Most notably, an article written after the Charleston shooting about the need to address racism earned him a handwritten note of praise from Secretary Arne Duncan. He writes for Education Post, EdWeek, Charlotte Magazine, Charlotte Agenda and EducationNC. His work has also appeared in Ebony and ASCD Educational Leadership magazine. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
Another gem of a video from Ted. A once interesting channel with reality.
For some reason, I have a fascination with watching videos like this. I love watching their face and watch them act so serious and be so confident on a subject that they have no idea what they’re saying. I actually do it with the religious TV shows sometimes. I’ll watch Rod Parsley, or Benny Hinn. And I watch them go on and preach to an audience that believes it so much and I’m so fascinated.
Many people, think they smart by saying something...most of them, don't realize how idiotic they sound. This, surely is the case!
Bless you My brother you are a great gift from God white supremacists don't want too read or hear the truth
There is no such thing as white supremacisy in this day and age but it use to be

To correct James we don't live in a democracy. We live in a form of democracy. It's called a Constitutional Republic. Its a more representative system. I take issue with people calling the US a democracy because it give a false understanding of how the "system" works. And then wonder why there "vote" doesn't count when the majority wins. The system is checks and balances and your vote does count toward the Electoral College
voter. It's to insure policy is careful crafted to meet everyone's needs and not just a quick policy without consideration of the minority side. Sadly out system as been sold to the rich and well connected. The first move needs to be get money out of all politics.
Were an oligarchy.
Actually the Electoral College exists to help prevent the more popular candidate (the choice of the majority) from becoming President. This happened four times including the 2016 and 2000 US Presidential elections. Originally the Electoral College was designed to give the states with lots of slaves more power in choosing the President.
Stop talking, start contributing ❤
Looking at inequalities and assuming racism is not good science
It's a face saving excuse.

True
I learned a lot from this talk thank you. Especially when you shared about how Martin Luther King Jr helped poor white people in Appalachia with the aim of improving their lives by not fighting racism with racism but with solidarity! I never knew that before. He recognised on a human level that it sucks to be poor and did something about it to change people's lives for the better! I thought that this gesture was so profound and such a powerful example of how people of any Colour are much more likely to advance the Olive branch of Peace to help other communities who likewise suffer from the effects of outdated and pointless laws than white people are likely to do. Knowing the origins of all of this dysfunctional history and behaviour is important because it explains so much and what can be done to start to heal the hurts and help to change society for the better. It is possible and it can be done!
Martin Luther King Junior is spinning over in his grave over what is occurring now. Remember judging a person not by their color, but rather by the content of their character? Remember?

Ok let me just try and say this to see how it feels, racism caused the 2008 housing crisis......nah doesn't feel right, I still think it was greed

Keep Speaking 🗣️ Truth To Power

Who are you and what are you talking about?
This guy has mastered the art of speaking without actually saying anything.
You know, there is a word for an ideology that dismisses the work of people of color without substantively engaging with the core argument. Can't quite put my finger on it...
White people are mostly not concerned with race. He’s a racial conflict entrepreneur.
This guy is telling the truth
them’s got ears, let ‘em hear
And the art of hand movements
Lot of people here seem not ready to hear this
Yes. I'm no ready, nor will I, ever be ready to hear stupidity of this magnitude.
You can feel the Italian joy because we all are related. We are all sons of God. We are all connected. We like it or not.
He feels the joy because we created our own culture. They haven't. It's why their women always hop onto our coattails.

It started way before Trump... Actually, go back before Christopher Columbus!
Nope crime is each race threatens it's other half equally
Thank you Sir.The beauty is the are over 8 Billion people in the World.The World is changing at a rapidly .Im loving it.
He claims racism originated in Europe. India's race based caste system is 3,000 years old.
@@vitocorleone8323 but yes that is a good point
@@vitocorleone8323 lmao your source is definetly from colonialists 😂
Do you guys and gals member a day when we tried to hide and protect the delusional and mentally ill. Love them and support them but kinda just try to keep them from saying anything to embarrass themselves? It’s gone the other way and these people now are the ones with the greatest Microphone and platform.
He’s a student who didn’t do his homework and forgot he has a class presentation. He tries to wing it nonetheless...
Sounds to me like you just don’t want to hear or believe what he’s saying, so why click on the video, just to try and discredit him or show your own hidden hate, truly pathetic; go touch grass and get some sun.
It’s gonna be funny seeing all the ignorance when the tables turn soon enough in time.
I imagine a country with only whites
There are many
Paradise.

Danny Vendramini neanderthal predation theory
All one has to ask is. Why are white people so much better lookin ? 🤔
You are always do SPOT ON , with your comments. Your comments alone prove your superiority.👍
Mass media that's your answer. Beauty is arbitrary but only the biggest media can feed the world on what is consider the most attractive looking people.
The first thing that came to my mind was🤔 they can't forget hair cuts or shaving. To each it's own
It's how you look at someone
Your eyes point that whites look better
But that's not really true.for everyone someone is beautiful.
Thank you for the compliment
as long as blacks and white tries to live together there will always be hate to the other race we are different races we always feel more for our own race that is how it is and will always be best is if blacks live with blacks and white with whites
Absolutely!!
Yes,the Blk and White community will never get along long term. Anti- segregation was a complete failure.
No just stop watching the main stream media and blacks and whites will get along just fine
MF didn't think when looting robbing and killing in Jesus name. Wonder if WS will let them demons fight their own wars. Not tax our trillions of dollars.
What about all of us being Americans?
