Paul RieckhoffHOST
And keep in mind, this was Republican and Democratic administrations, and a lot of them could've stepped forward.
Paul RieckhoffHOST
And I think it's really important to remember, it wasn't just firefighters and National Guardsmen like me who were going back in, it was kids at Stuyvesant High School.
Paul RieckhoffHOST
They went back in 'cause they wanted to get Wall Street open, and they put that ahead of the wellbeing of our children.
Paul RieckhoffHOST
14-year-olds, 13-year-olds were sent-
Katy TurSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Yeah
Paul RieckhoffHOST
... back into Stuyvesant High School when the air was clearly not safe.
Paul RieckhoffHOST
So, I, I think-
Katy TurSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Yeah
Susan RichardHOST
Natacha Williams and Lincoln Restler cite a persistent lack of Black and Latino students.
Susan RichardHOST
This year, for example, only three Black and 21 Latino students got into Stuyvesant High, compared to 133 white kids and 534 Asians.
Susan RichardHOST
Restler spoke to 1010 WINS.
Lincoln RestlerSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
We cannot let this extreme segregation continue at our most selective schools.
Amy GoodmanSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I'd like to bring Lila Nordstrom into the conversation.
Amy GoodmanSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Lila, you were a student at Stuyvesant High School at the time.
Amy GoodmanSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I remember when I was covering the subsequent events after 9-11, talking often with Marilena Christodoulou, who at the time was the head of the Parents Association at Stuyvesant and who was fighting crime.
Amy GoodmanSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So constantly to get the city to be clear about what the dangers were for the students who were brought back into Stuyvesant about I think it was a month after the attack.
Amy GoodmanSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And what grade were you in? I was a senior.
Amy GoodmanSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And you ended up writing a book.
Amy GoodmanSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
What happened to the Stuyvesant students? Again, Stuyvesant High School was on the Hudson River.
Lila NordstromGUEST
Yeah, and one of the reasons I wrote the book was because I wanted... not only there to be an accounting of the story, because it felt like the national narrative had really excluded survivors from the conversation, but I also wanted there to be a story of the advocacy efforts and the fact that we were involved in the subsequent advocacy efforts that secured the Zadroga Act in three different occasions.
Tanya GiddensGUEST
So I could have gone to any place.
Tanya GiddensGUEST
I didn't want to go to Stuyvesant.
Tanya GiddensGUEST
I didn't want to go to Bronx High School of Science.
Tanya GiddensGUEST
That was not my thing.
JohnAUDIENCE
Um, first, uh, let me just mention this as a 9/11 aside.
JohnAUDIENCE
I'm a graduate of Stuyvesant High School, which was the recovery center for 9/11-
Steve KatesHOST
Okay
JohnAUDIENCE
... for several weeks immediately after the terrorist attacks.
Ali VelshiHOST
Yeah.
Paul RieckhoffGUEST
They reopened Stuyvesant High School.
Ali VelshiHOST
Yeah.
Paul RieckhoffGUEST
They sent kids back into that.
Cheri PrestonGUEST
You could walk around the first couple of days, but they had the whole pile behind a big chain link fence.
Cheri PrestonGUEST
What ABC did is, you know, because networks can do things like this, they bought or rented out an apartment from someone who lived down there, and they lived above Stuyvesant High School, and they had a camera trained on that pile for months and months.
Cheri PrestonGUEST
And the cameramen would go out and you'd come in and there'd be a cameraman, spend the night there.
Cheri PrestonGUEST
They would stay there the whole time because they just wanted to make sure nothing would happen with that pile.

I mean, they were going up as we were all descending and trying to get out of the towers.
Heather BrookerGUEST
Three blocks away, 17-year-old Lila Nordstrom was sitting in a 10th floor classroom at Stuyvesant High School.
Heather BrookerGUEST
The windows faced
Lila NordstromSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
the towers.
