This week in @PublicSourcePA: How far can government go to give people a leg up based on race? As conservative legal minds target race-specific programs, Pittsburgh fortifies itself and forges ahead following one notable retreat publicsource.org/racial-reme… By @anliherring and team
Since SCOTUS ended race-based affirmative action in higher ed, uncertainty has mounted for race-conscious programs elsewhere, incl local gov. Pittsburgh’s plan to defend its programs is overdue. Can the city navigate the legal maze to advance racial equity?publicsource.org/racial-reme…
This piece, my first for @PublicSourcePA, was a collaboration with @chwolfson and @EricJankiewicz, with visuals by @StephStrasburg

Affirmative action in college admissions is dead. Gov't contracting, development aid and other programs focused on race survive - but could face legal peril. Is Pittsburgh doing enough, fast enough, to remedy racial injustices? publicsource.org/racial-reme…
A week ago, and after 6 years w/ @905wesa, I took a buyout from the radio station that gave me my first full-time job in journalism, immersing me in the magical world of storytelling. The excitement doesn’t go away, but now I am ready for a new adventure as a freelance writer.
... @CPotterPgh for always embracing the struggle (made no easier by my incessant questioning), @LizReidPGH for exhibiting the power of raw talent and an open mind and @mariacarter for fostering a culture of excellence, fun and respect (ya changed my life!).
Thanks also to the @pghpublicradio union for securing a measure of agency for our colleagues & me at a time of financial distress. While the moment is right for me to take a buyout, much uncertainty remains for a team that continues to deliver every day. Pgh’s lucky to have them.
What an honor!
