Nikole Hannah-Jones on the backlash to her viral essay about school choice

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones wrote a now-viral essay about her decision to send her daughter to high-poverty, predominantly Black public schools in her New York city neighborhood — and how they both feel about that choice 10 years later. In this episode of Settle In, she talks with Geoff Bennet about the immediate backlash to her essay, whether she regrets her choice and how to do better by kids in public schools.
