We welcome our first guest, Beth Goddett Ed. D, J.D., who is long time educator from K-12 and university.  Currently she has a keen eye on issues around equity and trauma.  We delve into several issues around education from Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka to the return of students to schools in Philadelphia this year.  We open with a brief look at violence in Philadelphia and the traumas and mindsets and lack of opportunities that have led to cycles of violence.  We wrap up our 1 hr (or so) of discourse with evaluating the meaning of equity in schools and how education can change for the better to address the needs of so many communities.
