Mayor-Elect RAS BARAKA Address to P.O.P. General Assembly: "Making America's Urban Schools Work"
followed with a presentation by Dr. Baruti Kafele, Internationally Renowned Educator
          On Thursday, May 29, 2014 Mayor-Elect Ras Baraka addressed the general assembly of the People's Organization for Progress!
          This historic discussion took place at Abyssinian Baptist Church in Newark, New Jersey. On May 13, Baraka defeated a heavily financed Shavar Jeffries, a former assistant attorney general, after mounting an endearingly spirited grassroots campaign. The former South Ward Councilman and Central High principal now finds himself at the helm of the state's largest city when it is at a major crossroads in its history, especially on matters of school control, gun violence and economic development.
