P.S. 12: The Persistence of NYC School Segregation, Pt. 2

Last week, we traveled back in history to learn about Civil Rights-era efforts to integrate New York City’s segregated schools and we featured a speech from Reverend Milton Galamison, the leader of the 1964 NYC school boycott. In the episode, we fast forward to present day to take a look at what has changed (and what hasn’t) in the fight for integration.Ash’aa Khan takes us to Queens to hear a conversation about school diversity between NYC schools chancellor David Banks and hosts of the School Colors podcast, Mark Winston-Griffith and Max Freedman.Want exclusive content from Miseducation?
