Two weeks ago, the United States Supreme Court struck down affirmative action, declaring that the race-conscious admissions programs at Harvard and the University of North Carolina were unlawful.

Today, three people whose lives were changed by affirmative action discuss the complicated feelings they have about the policy.

Guest: Sabrina Tavernise, a co-host of The Daily.

Background reading: 

• For many of the Black, Hispanic and Native Americans whose lives were shaped by affirmative action, the moment has prompted a personal reckoning with its legacy.
• In earlier decisions, the court had endorsed taking account of race as one factor among many to promote educational diversity.
