Episode 2: The Elephant In The Room

How is Systemic Racism explained to Children and what's it like working in institutions in which you are faced with the impact of Systemic Racism every day?

Lifelong Bostonian and Father of two Boys, Lovell Porter, details how Racism is just as problematic in the Northern United States as it is in the South. 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. Listen as Representative Holmes details why he personally attends Community Meetings instead of sending a staff member and how his Faith in God guides him as He does all that He can to dismantle racist power structures within our very Government.
