Noticed a reference to an upcoming Jonathan Kozol talk on another weblog.

Sure enough, according to the Mount Saint Mary College homepage:

World renowned educator, author and advocate for students, Jonathan Kozol to speak at the Mount, August 21 at noon in Aquinas Hall Theatre. Free and open to the public. The Mount also has a flyer for the event.

Should be an interesting talk. For some background on Kozol, here's his wikipedia entry, several book quotes, and Amazon link for his new book. Perhaps he has some suggestions for Newburgh.
