Carmen Pola, history-making Latina activist and civic leader, dies at 86

Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up That day set the stage for Mrs. Polas's role in 'She was one of the pioneers. She had a real impact on the community,' said Garcia, who also was executive director of the United South End Settlements for 20 years, said Mrs. Pola 'was a leader, and leaders find a way to get in there and make change, and that's what she did.' 'Carmen's living legacy is a reminder to all of us — a reminder that every day we have an opportunity to lead, every day we have an opportunity to uplift voices and to open doors for others,' Heading community organizations and rallying hundreds of parents to attend meetings, Mrs. Pola was a key driving force behind the evolving approach to bilingual education in the Boston Public Schools in the 1970s and early '80s. 'We feel very strongly that any human being who has a knowledge of more than one language has a better understanding of people and can be of great service,' she told The Boston Globe in 1982. Two years earlier, Mrs. Pola had launched a historic primary election campaign to try to unseat Kevin Fitzgerald, the incumbent state representative in the Suffolk 17th District. Telling the Globe that she didn't like being 'put in the Spanish box,' she brought together a coalition of Latino, Black, Asian, and white campaign volunteers. Advertisement In a September 1980 editorial, the Globe endorsed her candidacy. 'A community activist who has worked especially hard on public housing and school issues, Pola has a solid grasp of the challenges confronting the Legislature and of the particular responsibilities she would bear as the first Hispanic representative from Boston,' the editorial said. She lost by a close margin, but her campaign set the stage for Latino candidates who followed. In the 1983 Boston mayoral election, she coordinated Flynn's campaign in the Hispanic community and introduced him in Spanish at events. Soon after Flynn was elected, he appointed Mrs. Pola to run the new mayor's office of constituent services. Her office was just steps away from Flynn's own in City Hall. As the administration began in 1984, the Globe called her 'the most influential' Latina official in Flynn's administration.' In Mrs. Pola's constituent services office, signs in English and Spanish welcomed visitors to 'la oficina del alcalde de servicios a los constituyentes.' In January 1985, Flynn named Mrs. Pola as his senior adviser on human needs. She was responsible for dealing with many of the city's major crises, such as fires, the homeless, and the hungry. She stayed in that job until leaving the administration in October 1986. Mrs. Pola accomplished her rise from Mission Hill community activist to the heights of City Hall with a background unlike most of her colleagues. 'I have a high school diploma and a library card,' she said in a 2014 interview with Eloise Libre. With a nod to Tremont Street, the thoroughfare that runs through multiple Boston neighborhoods, including Mission Hill, she added: 'I have a Ph.D. from Tremont University – at life.' Advertisement Carmen Aurora Villanueva-Garcia was born on May 1, 1939, in Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico, the daughter of Miguelina Garcia, a hospital secretary, and Manuel Villanueva, an attorney. Mrs. Pola, who graduated from high school at 14, moved to the United States with her mother after her parents' marriage ended in divorce. Living initially in the Bronx, N.Y., they moved to California, where as a teenager Carmen was a farmworker, picking cherries, grapes, and walnuts. 'I'll tell you something, I don't eat any of them anymore,' she told the Globe in 1984. 'We were slaves,' she said of the workers' conditions. 'We lived in shacks, we cooked outside, and we had one shower for everyone in the field to share.' Within a couple of years, she was in Oakland, studying at a college and becoming a community activist. In 1961, she married Juan Pola, who was a truck driver before working in maintenance for Sylvania Electric Products after moving to Boston. He died in 2012. Mrs. Pola told the Globe that her activism was possible because she and Juan were 'equal partners. Whoever gets home first gets the household chores done.' 'She was always trying to make sure everybody was doing what they were supposed to be doing, and if there were any issues, she would resolve them,' said their daughter Rose of Baltimore, who added that subsequent generations turned to Mrs. Pola for guidance as well. In addition to Rose, Mrs. Pola leaves a son, Juan Pola Jr. of Cambridge; two other daughters, Mary Pola and Jacqueline Williams, both of Pawtucket, R.I.; a stepdaughter, Lynette Pola of California; 15 grandchildren; and six great-grandchildren. Advertisement A celebration of Mrs. Pola's life will be held at 11:30 a.m. Monday in the Boston Teachers Union in Dorchester. Mrs. Pola's honors included being the state recipient of After leaving her City Hall job, she helped found community organizations and nonprofits, and she continued to advise elected officials on issues of importance to Latinos. In all her advocacy, she stressed the need for people from different backgrounds, races, and neighborhoods to pursue their common goals. 'If we work together a little bit more, we will have a better world,' 'Nothing works when you do it by yourself,' she said, 'so you have to create a coalition.' Bryan Marquard can be reached at

Trump's war against DEI isn't going so well in Virginia

Apparently when President Trump says 'illegal DEI,' he means lawful and common-sense efforts to integrate public schools. At least, that's the takeaway from the Department of Education's new investigation against Fairfax County Public Schools. Trump officials claim Fairfax County violated federal law when it adopted an admissions policy designed to 'change the demographic make up' of its most competitive high school. This theory, which equates integration with segregation, dates back to Barry Goldwater, who remarked in 1964 that 'the Constitution is color-blind … and so it is just as wrong to compel children to attend certain schools for the sake of so-called integration as for the sake of segregation.' It seems Trump agrees. Unfortunately for him, the Supreme Court does not. Just last year, the court declined to overturn a ruling for Fairfax County. As I explained at the time, that decision made sense. Even as the Supreme Court has shifted hard right, decades of conservative case law — including from Chief Justice John Roberts — condone racial goals such as diversity, equality and inclusion. The new investigation tracks Trump's disregard for courts and his tendency toward bluster over substance. But in important respects, it also exposes that Trump's war on DEI lacks any moral and legal basis. Some context is helpful. For decades, Black advocates sought to desegregate Thomas Jefferson High School, one of the nation's top-ranked public schools. As recently as 2012, the NAACP filed a civil rights complaint alleging that the school's admissions policies discriminated against African American and Hispanic students and students with disabilities. Things shifted in 2020. As racial justice protests erupted across the globe, local leaders grappled with the fact that in a county with roughly 100,000 Black residents, Thomas Jefferson High School admitted so few Black students that the number was too small to report. The state convened a task force to examine the causes of this ongoing exclusion at Thomas Jefferson and other Virginia schools. Following a series of hearings, the board revised the school's admissions process, eliminating a $100 application fee and a standardized testing requirement. Contrary to ongoing claims that the new policy compromised 'merit,' the board raised the minimum GPA for admission from 3.0 to 3.5 and added an honors course requirement. The new policy also implemented a holistic evaluation that included new 'experience factors,' such as whether the applicant qualified for reduced meals or is an English language learner. The updated process also ensured that each middle school receive a number of seats equal to 1.5 percent of its eighth-grade class. The school board resolved that '[t]he admission process must use only race-neutral methods that do not seek to achieve any specific racial or ethnic mix, balance or targets.' This means that admissions officials are not told the race, ethnicity, sex or name of any applicant. In Supreme Court parlance, the entire admissions process was 'colorblind.' The new process produced promising results. In its inaugural year, Thomas Jefferson High School received 1,000 more applicants than the prior cycle. This larger applicant pool also 'included markedly more low-income students, English-language learners, and girls than had prior classes at TJ.' Consistent with the heightened GPA requirement, the admitted class's mean GPA was higher than in the five preceding years. The new process also yielded greater racial diversity. Black students comprised 10 percent of the applicant pool and received nearly 8 percent of offers and Hispanic students comprised 11 percent of the applicant pool and received over 11 percent of offers. The overall percentage of Asian American students decreased from the preceding year, but Asian Americans continued to enjoy the highest percentage yield of all racial groups. And as the Fourth Circuit detailed, Asian American students from historically underrepresented middle schools 'saw a sixfold increase in offers, and the number of low-income Asian American admittees to TJ increased to 51 — from a mere one in 2020.' In short, Thomas Jefferson High School adopted a 'race-neutral' process to pursue a set of goals that included increasing Black and Hispanic representation. This is the precise type of practice the Trump administration denigrates as 'illegal DEI.' Efforts to promote racial diversity do constitute DEI. But they are far from illegal. In fact, Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard — the 2023 decision striking down Harvard University's formal consideration of applicant race — supports most of the DEI policies Trump now targets. Writing for the majority, Chief Justice Roberts deemed Harvard's underlying goals as 'worthy' and 'commendable.' Justice Brett Kavanaugh made the point more directly; writing for himself, Kavanaugh noted that 'racial discrimination still occurs and the effects of past racial discrimination still persist' and that 'universities still can, of course, act to undo the effects of past discrimination in many permissible ways that do not involve classification by race.' The actions of the high school square with Kavanaugh's call for policies that attend to race but do not differentiate between individual students on this basis. This should short-circuit the Department of Education's investigation against Fairfax County. But it is unlikely to stall Trump's desire to outlaw integration. The Pacific Legal Foundation, which initiated the lawsuit against Fairfax County and remains a force on the right, wants to revive Goldwater's hostile approach to integration. Consider the following FAQ on Pacific Legal's website: 'schools may use or not use standardized tests, essays, interviews, or auditions, as long as their reasons for using or not using them are not racial.' By this logic, a high school could lawfully eliminate an admissions fee if motivated by public relations concerns, but it would be unlawful to take that same action if done to decrease racial barriers that exclude low-income Black and Hispanic students. Now consider higher education. Per Pacific Legal, Harvard University could eliminate admissions preferences for the children of alumni and wealthy donors if done to appease alumni pressure. But it would be unlawful for Harvard to take the same action if the goal is increasing the number of Asian American students or mitigate unearned racial preferences that flow to wealthy white applicants. The upshot is that affirmative efforts to reduce racial inequality — everything Trump dubs 'illegal DEI' — remain legal and morally just. So, at least for now, integration does not equate to segregation. Jonathan Feingold is an associate professor at Boston University School of Law. He is an expert in affirmative action, antidiscrimination law, education law, and critical race theory.
