On November 3, Madison voters will be asked whether to spend an extra $350 million on schools -- $317 million on improvements to the high schools and $33 million on operating expenses. Yes2Invest Committee co-chairs Sandy Morales and Sheri Carter join Real Talk today to make their pitch for a "yes" vote, even as some community leaders oppose giving more money to a district still plagued by racial disparities. Today's episode is sponsored by Park Bank with additional support from the Facebook Journalism Project.  

Milfred and Hands ask Sheri Carter, Madison's first black female City Council president, about race, police, protesters and what white people in the capital city don't understand about the African American experience here. "The civil rights movement never ended," she says, recalling growing up in Madison with what today would be described as helicopter parents on the South Side. Her parents came here in the 1950s from Louisiana, and her father called Madison "a breath of fresh air" in comparison. But Madison still has stark disparities that Carter wants to address. And in recent weeks, protests over the police killing of George Floyd, an unarmed black man in Minneapolis, have led large protests on State Street in Madison, late-night looting, the toppling of statues on the Capitol Square, and senseless violence. A strong leader during turbulent times, Carter has a knack for pulling people together. But she has no plans to run for mayor anytime soon (though she dodged a question about Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway.)  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
