How does Mr. Porter address Systemic Racism with his two Sons? How has Systemic Racism affected how Mr. Porter feels about his Sons being out in the World outside of his watchful eye?
Then We hear from Massachusetts State Representative Russell Holmes; a Man who feels the negative and impactful grip of Systemic Racism every time he walks into the Massachusetts State House.
