More than 70 years after Brown v. Board of Education, New York City schools remain deeply segregated.
We recorded this special episode of the Miseducation podcast, live at “Separate: NYC Public Schools 72 Years After Brown v. Board,” an event co-hosted by The Bell and the Center for Brooklyn History.
The episode features remarks from NYC Schools Chancellor Kamar Samuels and a conversation between Nikole Hannah-Jones and student reporter Aponi Kafele, marking the 10th anniversary of Hannah-Jones’ New York Times Magazine article, “Choosing a School for My Daughter in a Segregated City.”
It also includes a panel on school integration through the lens of sports, featuring former Park Slope Collegiate High School principal Jill Bloomberg, Small Schools Athletic League founder David Garcia-Rosen and NYC public school graduate and former Miseducation student reporter Renika Jack, moderated by The Bell’s Sabrina DuQuesnay.
Together, these conversations ask: What has changed, what hasn’t and what will it take to build a truly integrated future?
