Richards calls it "our civil rights moment" and argues the fix starts well before test day, with real investment in neighborhood schools, exam information in every middle schooler's hands, and elected officials willing to speak up. They also get into what the city can change now for five of the eight specialized schools without waiting on Albany, and how to bring the Asian community to the table for a solution that works for everyone.

Plus, Richards on what's happening in Queens, from the borough's first standalone cancer center to the $20 billion JFK redevelopment.
