Into America

What you need to know about Affirmative Action

In this bonus episode of Into America: the history and stakes of Affirmative Action on the heels of the Supreme Court ruling.

Jun. 30, 2023, 12:18 PM EDT

About this episode:

This week, the US Supreme Court struck down the use of Affirmative Action in higher education, in one of the most widely watched cases of the summer.

As part of his television reporting, Trymaine Lee had a conversation with professor Cara McClellan of the University of Pennsylvania’s law school in the lead-up to the decision. They talked about the history of this policy, as well as the stakes of losing it. And we wanted to share the conversation with you here on the pod as well.

For more analysis of the Supreme Court decision, check out MSNBC. And keep your eyes on your podcast feeds for more from us in the coming weeks.
