Nikole Hannah-Jones, a New York Times investigative journalist, MacArthur Award recipient, and lead-writer for The 1619 Project, has written extensively on the history of racism, school re-segregation, and the disarray of hundreds of desegregation orders. Her deeply personal account, which became the basis of a New York Times feature piece, of her own experience as a parent in New York City's public school system shows that school segregation is not an isolated phenomenon but rather a defining factor of most cities across the country.
