While I was raised going to church multiple days during the week, Sunday has always been a special day set aside for church, fellowship and rest. In today’s complex legal landscape, protecting your church’s leadership, congregation (the sheep) and the church's assets has become more complicated than ever. From managing internal operations to navigating regulatory compliance and handling both internal and external challenges, the right legal counsel can make all the difference. I'm answering a common question I've received from church leaders-- how do we select an attorney for our church? As you consider this question, listen to my recent live for some key tips to ensure you choose the best fit for your needs.

The 70th anniversary of the Brown v. Board of Education ruling is a few months away – let’s talk about it… On May 17, 1954, the landmark Brown v. Board case ruled racial segregation in public schools unconstitutional – years later, once legally mandated efforts were in full swing, graduation rates among Black students increased, along with adult economic well-being. Latino students benefit from school integration too, and it’s well documented in California during the years following Mendez v. Westminster, often described as a groundbreaking precursor to Brown. Despite integration being a proven method to improve access to resources, and therefore educational outcomes, we have given up on it in most parts of the country. Today schools are still as segregated as they were in the 1960s. 70 years later the promise of Brown is still unfulfilled, and we still don’t have integrated, well-resourced schools. This upcoming anniversary should be a moment to restart progress. Join the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc., Brown's Promise, and Columbia Law School to commemorate the 70th anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education and strategize where we go from here. Register for our event on 4/4 here! https://lnkd.in/gzHqkran
