froman assertionthat the
meeting ‘‘primarily’’ dealt with
adoption of Russian children.

Thisday in history

to say this,though. I don’t
thinkhe’s a racist because of
the vitriol that he spews, OK? I
think and know that he’s a rac-
ist based on a pattern of behav-
ior that beganwell before he
was the occupant of this White
House.”
Pressley listed actionsof
Trump’s going backdecades
that she said have demonstrat-
ed indifference or hostility to
people of color, from his claims
that former presidentBarack
Obama was born outside the
United States; to Trump’s calls
for the death penalty for the
Central Park Five, whowere
eventually exonerated; to his
refusalto rent to African-Amer-
ican tenants in the 1970s.
She suggested that Trump’s
racial attitudes are clearfrom
his choice of language. Asked
by Harding aboutTrump’s
claims that his administration
is helpingAfrican-Americans,
Pressley retorted, “Actually, he
doesn’t even say, ‘African-
Americans.’ He says, ‘The
blacks.’ ”
“At this point, it is fatiguing,
the level of venomand vitriol
and racist rhetoric,but I’m not
allowingthat to distract me
fromthe real work, and the real
harmthat this administration
is causing with racist and hurt-
ful policies.”
There were also lighter mo-
ments, as whenPressley admit-
ted that she has never learned
to drive a car but said, “Excuse
me, I do co-chairthe Congres-
sionalBike Caucus,” and when
she talked abouther beloved
longhairedcat, Sojo,named for
19th-century African-Ameri-
can abolitionist Sojourner
Truth.
Asked about“the Squad” —
the first-termcongresswomen
of color that also includes Rep-
resentatives Alexandria Ocasio-
Cortez of New York, Ilhan
Omarof Minnesota,and Rashi-
da Tlaib of Michigan— and the
publicspotlight on them since
Trumpsuggested “they go back
and help fix the totally broken
and crime-infestedplaces from
whichthey came,” Pressley sug-
gested that the conflict is just
another part of the circus-like
atmosphere Trump creates.
“I am encouraged by and
grateful for the outpouringof
solidarity and love and support
that myself and my colleagues
have receivedin our districts
and throughoutthis country,”
she said. “I do believe most
days it does drown out the level
of vitriol and venom that is on
the other side.”
Pressley toutedthe accom-
plishmentsof her first six

months in the House, saying
she is the leadauthoron 10
pieces of legislation and a co-
sponsor on about 130 more.
She has beencareful, she said,
to coordinate with colleagues
in the Senate to increasetheir
bills’ chancesof success.
“My very first bill,with
UnitedStates Senator Tina
Smith out of Minnesota,was to
provide back pay for federally
contracted third-party service
workers — custodians, food
service workers, security work-
ers — whowerenot made
whole after the federal govern-
ment shutdown,” she said.
“And I was able to get that into
our appropriationspackage.”
She also discussed the im-
migration crisis and her visit
earlier this summer to a mi-
grant detentioncenter in El
Paso. She expressed frustration
withthe Senate, particularly
majority leader Mitch McCon-
nell, for failingto act on the im-
migration crisis.
“It’s typicalto say that the
system is broken, but I think
actually the system is doing
what it was designed to do,” she
said. “That means that the sys-
tem is fundamentally flawed,
and we needa system... that
works,that is compassionate,
that is humane,that prioritizes
familiesstayingtogether.After
all, seekingasylumis a legal
and a humanright.”
Pressley repeatedly stressed
that her district is 40 percent
immigrant, and said,“Look, I
workin Washington, but I an-
swer to and I work for the peo-
ple of the Massachusetts Sev-
enth [District].”
“The fear and the abuse of
power is not hyperbole; it’s not
imagined,” she said.“We have
seen the overreach of ICE right
here,in the Massachusetts Sev-
enth, and that fear is palpable.”
The prerecordedinterview
did not address the massshoot-
ing Saturday at an El Paso Wal-
mart that killedat least 20 peo-
ple, or the separate massshoot-
ing in Dayton,Ohio,early
Sunday that killedat least nine,
but Pressley addressed the El
Paso massacre in a Twitter post
Saturday night.
“What we witnessed in #El-
Paso today was an act of terror-
ism,” she wrote. “Robbing us of
the livesof morethan20 peo-
ple, a terrorist emboldened by
racist rhetoric,armedwith
weaponsthat shouldbe out-
lawed. Enough. It’s timeto
channel our rage and heart-
breakinto real policy change.”

Pressley attacks

Trump’s record

long-ago day at the CharlesG.
Harrington Elementary School,
George Weiss, the founder of a
nonprofit organization called
Say Yes to Education,had dra-
maticallyexpanded opportuni-
ties for students in the working-
class community.
About20 alumni,nowin
their mid-30s, warmly em-
bracedone another as they en-
teredthe campus’s studentcen-
ter Saturday, excitedlysharing
news of marriages, newborn
children, and job promotions.
They marveled at how far
they all had comethroughthe
help of Weiss’ organization,
whichoffers academicand
emotionalsupport to 170,
students in cities across the
country and has helpedmore
than 13,000 students go on to

college.
The Cambridge chapter was
amongthe organization’s four
original cohorts, which also in-
cluded schools in Philadelphia,
Hartford, and New York’s Har-
lem neighborhood.
AnneLarkin, director of the
Cambridge chapter, said she in-
terviewedprincipalsfrom
schools all overCambridge to
figure out whichschoolwould
be the best match — and which
community really needed
Weiss’ help.
“To qualify, the school had to
be multicultural, serve a low so-
cio-economic community, be lo-
cated in an innercity, and serve
kindergarten through eighth-
grade students,” according to a
statement fromthe chapter,
whichceasedoperating in
2008.
Nearly 90 percent of Har-
rington Elementary students
graduated fromhighschoolor
earned their GED, with about
30 percent continuing on to
earn a bachelor’s degree, ac-
cording to the chapter’s state-
ment.
Larkin, a retired Lesley pro-
fessor, said she closelymoni-
toredthe students’academic
successes and hardships as they
grew up, coordinating interven-
tionsfor students with special
needs,who madeup more than
half of the cohort.
Their relationship gradually
morphed from college check-
ins to babyshowerinvitations,
she said.
“I tell people I raised 69
kids,” Larkinsaid,smiling
warmly. “I was with them from

the beginning, and I never let
go.”
She criedout with delight as
a photoslideshowplayed
throughoutthe event’s recep-
tion,capturingflashesof ordi-
nary school days that, in the
wake of the scholarship an-
nouncement, had become suf-
fused witha senseof horizons
suddenly broadened: children
sipping out of milk cartons in
the cafeteria,shootingbasket-
ballsoutside on a playground,
or fiddling with ancient desk-
tops lining a classroom.
The finalimages, of blissful
highschool graduations, car-
ried a sense of hopeand long-
ing for loftier, thoughattain-
able, pursuits.
Weiss, whoseofficesare in
Hartford and New York City,
hosted an intimate, hour-long
huddle with the students as the
reunion began, inquiring about
their professionalstatus — and
volunteerworkto pay his gift
forward.As they spoke, bursts
of laughter often broke through
quieter moments of reverie and
introspection.
“I just get sucha highfrom
it,” Weiss said of his interac-
tions with alumni.
He was honoredwitha
bronze football engraved with a
heartfelt thank-you:“We took
it, and we ran with it.”
The trophy paidhomage to
footballs that Weiss had distrib-
uted at the 1991 Harrington El-
ementary assembly, and they
responded to the message those
ballshad carried: “You take it,
and you run with it.”
Jennifer Amaya-Noble, a

program alumna whonow
works at MIT, said she had rec-
ognized the true importance of
the gift when she was in high
school.Her parentsnever had
the opportunity to attendcol-
lege after they emigrated from
El Salvador, she said.
“I wantedto make everyone
proud,” said Amaya-Noble,of
Somerville,whograduated
fromSimmons University with
degreesin communications
and studioart. “Everyone was
very supportive. They werevery
loving.”
Elizabeth LeBlond Cunha,
an administrative assistant at
Beth Israel DeaconessMedical
Center, said it’s strange to think
about howtheirlives might
have turned out differently, par-
ticularlywithout the financial
or emotional backingWeiss
made possible.
“It’s just so surreal,” said
LeBlond Cunha, of Cambridge.
“All the feelings come back
whenyouthinkaboutit.”
The program somehow
made everyone feel special, said
Guillermo Moronta, a program
alumnuswho is now an associ-
ate director of admissions at Ta-
bor Academy in Marion. Even
as yearspassed,Morontasaid,
Say Yes to Education defied his
expectationswithits unflag-
ging support.
“No one ever gave up on
me,” he said. “I was allowedto
reach a lot higher.”
