Welcome to the weekend. 2019 marks the 400th anniversary of slavery in the US, and I’ve been feeling compelled to explore more about how it still impacts our country today. To that end, I’m just back from a trip across the American South (New Orleans, Jackson, Selma & Montgomery) focusing on race and justice. This week’s briefing focuses exclusively on this topic. I know this isn’t my typical content, and may make some feel uncomfortable. Honestly, I’m still processing all of this and know I have a lot more to learn. But, if we don’t get curious about the racial inequity in our country, we’ll continue to see the divide of race and wealth moving us further and further away from the “more perfect union” all of us would like to see.
