Tag: Alice De Rivera

My latest for The New Yorker about a thirteen-year-old girl who fought educational sexual segregation

January 29, 2019January 29, 2019 lgsnyc

My second piece for The New Yorker is about a mod 13-year-old named Alice de Rivera who took on Stuyvesant High in 1969. She’s as awesome at 63 as she was at 13. There’s even a Jimi Hendrix cameo!
