Dr. Canada’s NYC School Tour: Revisiting P.S. 6
EPISODE 50 • SEASON 1 00:18:24

Thank you for joining us for another episode of The Silk Stocking Sisters Podcast. In this episode, Dr. Canada reflects on her experience attending P.S. 6, a predominantly white school on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, during the era of school desegregation. She walks the streets of New York City and revisits her former elementary school, where she attended 4th through 6th grade, sharing memories from her daily routine, including her walk from the bus stop and visits to a local store across the street.


Best experienced when paired with the full video on The Silk Stocking Sisters Podcast YouTube channel, this episode offers a first-hand perspective on Dr. Canada’s childhood school experience in the 1960s. She also reflects on how the neighborhood and school have remained well preserved over the years and highlights P.S. 6’s continued commitment to providing strong educational experiences.
