Struggling School, Or Sanctuary?

When a school shuts down, students often lose more than a place of learning; they lose friends, mentors and a community. This is an experience that disproportionately affects black students.

Shereen's reporting, along with that of producer Chris Benderev, was originally produced for the NPR podcast Embedded.See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy
