Nikole Hannah-Jones May Have Just Written a Eulogy for Woke Idealism
A New York Times writer put her daughter in a struggling school to make a point. Ten years on, she admits she was wrong.
Pulitzer Prize winner Nikole Hannah-Jones, renowned for crafting The 1619 Project, recently penned a reflection piece on her daughter's education. The 2016 essay detailed her decision to enroll Najya in a high-poverty school, Public School 307, where 91% of students were Black and Latino. Ten years later, Hannah-Jones revisited the choice and admitted she might have been mistaken.
She now acknowledges that she failed both her values and her child, expressing regret that her daughter "never really got the education I wanted."
