@pbsnews's TikTok video "Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones faced backlash for her essay about choosing a decade ago to send her daughter to a high-poverty, low-performing school in Brooklyn. "Some of us have to try" to push for change, she told Geoff Bennett on the PBS News podcast, Settle In, adding that school equality is "something we have been fighting since before Brown v. Board of Education," the landmark 1954 Supreme Court ruling that school segregation based on race was unconstitutional. "We can judge the success of that on whether one writer who made one choice could topple school segregation, or we can say, do a bunch of us have to try and hope that eventually we will have an impact," she said. Hannah-Jones spoke to Bennett about her experience, public school systems and where she sees hope for change. #nikolehannahjones #publicschool #poverty #education #settlein" has 1,993 views, 83 likes, 3 comments, 4 shares in the public metrics captured by this index.
