In a New York Times Magazine essay, Nikole Hannah-Jones revisits her decision a decade earlier to send her daughter Najya to predominantly Black, high-poverty public schools in Brooklyn as an effort to challenge school segregation. After her daughter expressed dissatisfaction with her education, Hannah-Jones confronted what she called a suppressed truth.
“Now I felt overcome with regret. Najya deserved better. They all did. But she was mine. This girl, my only child, looked to me to protect her, to give her what she needed to thrive. And I had not chosen her.”
