ABOUT NIKOLE'S WORK
Nikole Hannah-Jones is an investigative journalist chronicling the demise of racial integration efforts and persistence of segregation in American society, particularly in education. She combines analyses of historical, academic, and policy research with moving personal narratives to bring into sharp relief a problem that many are unwilling to acknowledge still exists and its tragic consequences for African American individuals, families, and communities.

Her profile of three generations of a family in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, in "Segregation Now" (2014) illustrates the historical trajectory of segregation in many school districts in the South. A grandfather attended school before judicial force dismantled Jim Crow–era segregated schools; his daughter, a college graduate, was educated in an integrated school district. But after the district was released from judicial oversight in the 1990s, it effectively became re-segregated; his granddaughter now attends an all-black school that is so poorly resourced it leaves its students far behind their white counterparts. After the shooting of Michael Brown and subsequent unrest in Ferguson, Missouri, Hannah-Jones spent several months investigating a short-lived integration program in the (mostly white, high-achieving) school district 30 miles from (all-black, almost entirely poor, and unaccredited) Normandy School District, where Brown attended high school. The resulting hour-long radio piece, "The Problem We All Live With" (2015), unflinchingly conveys the failings of our educational system and exposes how the decisions we make as individuals and collectively as a society have created and perpetuate our two-tier education system. In a particularly poignant section, Hannah-Jones juxtaposes the delight and joy in the voices of a student and her mother contemplating the opportunity to apply to a high school outside of Normandy with the voices of white parents decrying the violence and drop in test scores that they claim will result from the influx of Normandy students.

Hannah-Jones's deeply personal account of her own experience as a parent in New York City's public school system, "Choosing a School for My Daughter in a Segregated City" (2016), shows that school segregation is not an isolated phenomenon but rather a defining factor of most cities across the country. Currently at work on a book about school segregation, Hannah-Jones is compelling us to confront segregation as a fundamental cause of racial disparities and reshaping national conversations about education reform.

关于尼科尔的工作
尼科尔-汉纳-琼斯是一名调查记者，记录了种族融合努力的消亡和美国社会中持续存在的隔离现象，特别是在教育领域。她把对历史、学术和政策研究的分析与动人的个人叙述结合起来，使许多人不愿承认的一个问题仍然存在，以及它对非裔美国人、家庭和社区的悲惨后果变得鲜明。

她在《现在的隔离》（Segregation Now）一书中对阿拉巴马州塔斯卡卢萨（Tuscaloosa）一个家庭的三代人的描述说明了南方许多学区隔离的历史轨迹。一位祖父在司法力量拆除吉姆-克罗时代的种族隔离学校之前上学；他的女儿，一位大学毕业生，在一个综合学区接受教育。但在20世纪90年代该学区被解除司法监督后，它实际上重新变成了种族隔离；他的孙女现在就读于一所全黑学校，该学校资源匮乏，使其学生远远落后于其白人同学。在迈克尔-布朗被枪杀以及随后在密苏里州弗格森发生的骚乱之后，汉纳-琼斯花了几个月时间，调查了距离布朗就读高中的诺曼底学区（大部分是白人，成绩优异）30英里的一个短暂的整合计划。由此产生的长达一小时的广播节目 "我们共同面对的问题"（2015年），毫不留情地传达了我们教育系统的失败，并揭露了我们作为个人和社会集体做出的决定如何创造并延续了我们的两级教育系统。在一个特别感人的章节中，汉娜-琼斯将一个学生和她的母亲考虑申请诺曼底以外的高中的机会的喜悦和欢乐，与白人家长谴责暴力和考试成绩下降的声音并列，他们声称诺曼底学生的涌入将导致这种情况。

汉娜-琼斯对自己作为纽约市公立学校系统的家长的经历进行了深刻的个人描述，《在一个隔离的城市为女儿选择学校》（2016），表明学校隔离不是一个孤立的现象，而是全国大多数城市的一个决定性因素。目前，汉娜-琼斯正在写一本关于学校隔离的书，她正迫使我们正视隔离是种族差异的根本原因，并重塑关于教育改革的国家对话。

个人简历
