In Fighting for Every Black Child, Did I Betray My Own? (Gift Article)
A decade ago, I made a decision about my daughter’s education that I hoped would challenge New York City’s separate and unequal school system. Now 16, she thinks I made the wrong choice.
![Vertical graphic filled by a photograph of a Times Square billboard, cropped to
the memorial poster on its left half: a large snapshot of a small
brown-and-white long-haired dog looking at the camera with its mouth open and
tongue out, green leaves behind it. Below the snapshot, handwritten-style text
on the billboard. A BBC News watermark is faintly visible at the bottom. The
lower half darkens to black beneath cream text, a thin orange rule beside the
quotation.
Text: "This week on Kerim's Triptych — Item 1". "Stray Dog". "Ordinary Chinese
people paid for these displays, one small donation at a time – all to mourn a
stray dog." "https://triptych.oxus.net/". On the billboard, partly obscured: "In
Memeory of our Wangwang" [sic].
