Two other black candidates, Donald Harding and Alvin E. Thompson, ran and lost--perhaps in part due to the changing demographics of Cambridge, which is gaining more white residents.
Candidate Donald Harding stressed the basics of reading, writing and arithmetic and said the school system should take advantage of the information technology in the city.
"We have development that is technology-based, and we're not taking advantage of that," Harding said.
"We need to end the school choice program that we have," Harding said. "If you want [parents] to participate in the schools, have [children] go to the schools right next to their house."
Regional differences can also affect the new teachers. TFA placed Harding in a school with a segregated homecoming court for the black and white students.
