Integration for NYC Schools is Back in the Conversation
Description
New York Times Magazine writer Nikole Hannah Jones's article about her family's experience with New York City public schools has brought the system's persistent segregation and inequality back into the forefront of education conversations. Alex Zimmerman, reporter at Chalkbeat, New York talks about the issues her article brought forth, her challenge to the mayor to do something and what the city does say it's doing to address the longstanding issue.
