Bill Spriggs spent four decades trying to root out racial injustice in society and in his own profession. He was, as @SandyDarity put it, "deeply committed to the idea that we do economics because we have a social purpose."

Hope this one helps push thinking forward as we look to expand access and address the troubling segregation of our youngest students. Grateful to the whole @urbaninstitute team for thoughtful feedback, @richardwdisalvo as great discussant at @APPAM_DC and my amazing co-authors!

Sometimes researchers are lucky enough to tell the story of pathbreaking policy. Our new case study of DC's Early Childhood Educator Pay Equity Fund offers important lessons for other jurisdictions seeking to improve compensation in #childcare. urban.org/research/publicati…
