Nikole Hannah-Jones revealed she enrolled her daughter in struggling NYC public schools as a racial sacrifice
Nikole Hannah-Jones published an essay in the New York Times Magazine describing her decision to enroll her daughter Najya in low-income, predominantly Black Brooklyn public schools starting in 2015, a choice she characterized as fighting systemic racism. Her daughter was academically behind when she later transferred to a better high school, and Hannah-Jones expressed regret about the decision. The school, Urban Assembly Unison School, was part of the 1619 Project Education Network's 2022 cohort.
