Interesting event coming up with PS 307 parent Nikole Hannah-Jones who is an award-winning investigative reporter covering civil rights and racial injustice for The New York Times Magazine.
About the event: New York State has some of the most segregated schools in the nation, a fact of which many New Yorkers are likely not aware. We do know that the educational inequality debate stretches far beyond New York’s borders but how did we get here? WNYC Education Reporter Beth Fertig talks to a panel of experts, including Norm Fruchter, writer, scholar and Principal Associate of the Annenberg Institute for School Reform; Nikole Hannah-Jones, investigative reporter and accomplished journalist with The New York Times Magazine; and Clara Hemphill, founder of insideschools.org, and Craig Gurian, Executive Director of the Anti-Discrimination Center, about the current and future fight against inequities in education in the Empire State.
The event will take place on Wedneday, September 16 from 6.30 to 8 pm at Brooklyn Historical Society at 128 Pierrepont Street in Brooklyn Heights. Tickets are $5, get tickets here.
