Introducing School Colors
Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn is one of the most iconic historically Black neighborhoods in the United States. But Bed-Stuy is changing. Fifty years ago, schools in Bed-Stuy's District 16 were so overcrowded that students went to school in shifts. Today, they're half-empty. Why? "School Colors" is a new podcast from Unsettled producer Max Freedman exploring how race, class, and power shape American cities and schools.
