Former NBA star and Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson spoke to a crowd at Mount Zion Baptist Church in October about reforming our schools. Johnson is a longtime education supporter. After his NBA career, he founded ST. HOPE Foundation, which eventually took over the failing Sacramento High School. St. HOPE opened St. HOPE Public Schools, a preK-12 independent public charter school system that is currently comprised of seven schools. The schools are a remarkable success story. Johnson is the first speaker in the League of Education Voters' Voices from the Education Revolution speaker series. For more information, go to http://educationvoters.org.
