New Jersey U.S. Senator and former Newark Mayor Cory Booker says during the coronavirus outbreak he's been hunkered down in his Newark home except for the times he's joined Governor Phil Murphy at various events. "I'm doing most of my work from here in my office which is a 24/7 all hands on deck as my whole office teams works from home. It's been a challenging time for all but for me I find a chance to up my, frankly, productivity. There's something about you know getting up early in the morning and being able to do all your work from one place. It's actually allowed me to stay very connected across the state with mayors and county leaders and everything from non-profit heads to individual businesses and just everyday trying to help while at the same time being able to be involved in the many negotiations in Washington to get New Jersey the resources it needs." More than 400 Newarkers have died from complications of COVID-19. Senator Booker stresses that he hopes New Jerseyans gain

There is a school of thought in crisis management that says, if you have a completely intractable problem, sometimes the only solution is to create a larger problem.  In fact, to blow things up to the point where you get to start over. Sometimes that’s a strategy that happens not just by design, but by outcome.When then Newark Mayor Cory Booker, N.J. Governor Chris Christie and Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg put together a plan that they thought would completely reform and transform Newark schools back in 2010, they thought they were doing the right thing.  However what they did was reminiscent of what Ronald Reagan declared as the most terrifying phrases in the English language…”I’m from the government and I’m here to help.”What they did, what they failed at and even what they succeeded at, shows how incredibly hard it is to be transformative in public education.  This is the story told by Dale Russakoff in The Prize: Who's in Charge of America's Schools?My conversation with Dale Russakoff:

http://www.thegrio.com/2009/09/documentary-series-explores-citys-challenges.php New York City's murder rate has dropped nearly 15 percent compared to last year, according to the New York City Police Department. But East Harlem's 23rd Precinct is another story. There have been seven murders in that area this year, compared to two after nine months last year. Iesha Sekou knows all about crime statistics in Harlem. She is often among the first to arrive at crime scenes and console victim's families. "[The violence] stays in your head, you wake up with it, you go to sleep with it," Sekou said. "It's not easy to be at a site and you know that this is somebody's 15-year-old baby lying in a puddle of blood." Sekou is a community organizer in Harlem and tries to educate youth through her organization, Street Corner Resources. Street Corner Resources began nearly three years ago and provides youth activities, educational workshops and employment training. "We try to tell these kids that there are more options to life than killing," Sekou said. "But violence is glorified, not positive behavior. So it's hard to get the message through." A new documentary series, 'Brick City,' explores the same issues Sekou works on each day. The series is set less than 10 miles away in Newark, NJ. It follows the plight of Newark residents and officials as they work to reduce crime and improve the city's image. Newark Mayor Cory Booker is featured prominantly in the documentary. He said it is a constant struggle to get young people, especially young black males, to think positively of their future. "It's hard to communicate, to have them open their minds to possibility," Booker said. "It says in the Bible, 'without vision, the people will perish,' so if you have such a narrow vision of yourself and your life, you'll never expand to your full capacity." The five-part series is airing this week on Sundance Channel. Sekou said the series could help shine a positive light on people striving to impact their communities. "Violence is not exclusive to Harlem," Sekou said. "[The media] needs to show up when we are here working to effect change. Not just when bodies are down and crime scene tape is up."

Bill Moyers interviews Newark Mayor Cory Booker for a frontline report on race and politics today.

Forty years after race riots in Detroit, Newark, and dozens of other cities stunned the nation, has anything changed?
