The Problem We All Live With
This argument essay is about the integration of black as well as white students at school beyond color discrimination. This American Life is actually a radio show which is programmed for American public. “The Problem We All live with” is 58th episode of this radio show and it discusses segregation in education in 2015. The program is composed to interview an investigative reporter at The New York Times named Nikole Hannah-Jones. In the very start of the essay Nikole uses very logical arguments regarding what has been done by the schools for the betterment of white as well as black kids.
