New York City students are fighting for school integration

Season 2019 Episode 199 | 8m 36s

New York state has some of the most segregated schools in the U.S., particularly among African-American and Latino students. And 65 years after the Supreme Court decision declaring school-based racial segregation to be unconstitutional, New York City students are pushing for a city-wide integration plan. Hari Sreenivasan reports on the first of a two-part series examining the debate.
