  Help students use their voices to build an equitable and just society. 
   
   
   
  Years of political violence and protests against injustice have revived interest in teaching civics in schools. The problem? Civic education—as it currently exists—privileges systems, not students. It promotes incremental change within a broken democracy rather than responding to the youth-led movements that call for the abolition of inequitable social structures. What will it take to prepare young people for the just future they are fighting for? 
   
   
   
  Civics for the World to Come offers educators a framework for designing the critical civic education that our students deserve. Synthesizing perspectives on democratic life from critical race theory, ethnic studies, Afrofuturism, and critical literacy, the book presents key practices for cultivating youth civic agency grounded in equity and justice. The authors explore five world-building civic skills (Inquiry, Storytelling, Imagination, Networking, and Advocacy) and introduce listeners to real learning communities where students and educators are transforming themselves and society.

  In June of 1970, the body of twenty-four-year-old Nancy Morgan was found inside a government-owned car in Madison County, North Carolina. It had been four days since anyone had heard from the bubbly, hard-working brunette who had moved to the Appalachian community less than a year prior as an organizer for Volunteers in Service to America. At the time of her death, her tenure in the Tar Heel State was just weeks from ending, her intentions set on New York and nursing school and a new life that she would never see. The initial investigation was thwarted by inept police work, jurisdictional confusion, and the influence of local corruption. Fourteen years would pass before an arrest in the case would be made, but even then, a pall would be cast over the veracity of the evidence. 
   
   
   
  Met Her on the Mountain is the culmination of former Los Angeles Times staff writer Mark Pinsky's efforts to solve the forty-year-old mystery once and for all. An exhaustive piece of investigative journalism, Pinsky's work, now with a new postscript, dissects this modern Southern Gothic tale and takes listeners on a journey to convince them that the truth of Morgan's murder is within reach.

  Public service embodies the commitment to work for the greater good, prioritizing the well-being and needs of society over personal gain. It is rooted in the principles of altruism, civic duty, and social responsibility, often manifesting through roles in government, education, healthcare, and community organizations. Public servants are driven by a desire to contribute to the common welfare, ensuring that essential services and resources are accessible to all, particularly the most vulnerable members of society. 
    
  The essence of public service lies in its foundational values: integrity, transparency, accountability, and equity. These values guide public servants in their decision-making processes, ensuring that their actions reflect the best interests of the public. It also involves a deep understanding of the diverse needs within a community and a commitment to addressing these needs with fairness and compassion. 
    
  Furthermore, public service is about fostering trust between the public and institutions. By consistently acting with honesty and fairness, public servants can build and maintain the public’s confidence in their ability to govern and manage resources effectively. This trust is essential for the functioning of a democratic society, as it ensures public cooperation and support for initiatives that benefit the community as a whole. 
    
  Ultimately, public service is a calling that requires dedication, empathy, and a strong sense of justice. It is about making a positive impact on society, ensuring that all individuals have the opportunity to thrive, and creating a legacy of service that inspires future generations.
