“Love this podcast! I’ve worked in NYC public education for 20 years but when I started reading about Ocean Hill-Brownsville, everything suddenly made sense. The strike and the aftermath is the origin story of the modern NYC public school system, and this podcast makes it even more clear, accessible and compelling. Thank you!”

“I am a young NYC teacher who grew up outside the city. This podcast has really opened my eyes to issues that the NYCDOE still has today. A MUST listen for all NYC teachers who don’t know much about the issues plaguing our system.”
