CHECK OUT Coalition4Justice's new blog, LET'S TALK!
HI ALL! My name is Sanaa. Welcome to the very first edition of Coalition4Justice's LET'S TALK, an online platform for sharing information, personal storytelling, and insights on topics that affect and shape our communities, our society, and our world. Some conversations will be serious, some inspiring, and some might even be funny. My goal is to talk candidly about issues that matter. I'm an African-American college senior, originally from Philadelphia, PA. The recent U.S. Supreme Court decision striking down affirmative action in college admissions caused me to reflect on its possible impact, and on my own college journey, which has been challenging at times, but ultimately worthwhile. But given the Court’s decision, the opportunity for some to pursue their dreams may be in real jeopardy, especially for Black, Latino, and Native American students. How will colleges achieve a diverse student body in this new reality? Let’s look at how we got here and why it matters.
If Affirmative Action is Dead, What Now?
