Sakia Gunn's death was a queer rallying cry across New Jersey. But over time, much of the initial political support seemed to evaporate. This episode looks at efforts to legislate, regulate, and mandate education in Newark and beyond as a result of this tragedy.


This is the fourth episode of "After Broad and Market," a co-production of LWC Studios and Chasing the Dream, a public media initiative from The WNET Group.


Chasing the Dream: Poverty and Opportunity in America is a multiplatform public media initiative from The WNET Group in New York reporting on poverty, justice, and economic opportunity, and showcasing promising solutions. The initiative's goal is to better inform using facts that go beyond personal biases, media narratives, and presumptions about the American Dream.


Major funding for Chasing the Dream is provided by The JPB Foundation with additional funding from Sue and Edgar Wachenheim III.
