Black Lives Matter - A History of Structural and Institutional Racism in the United States of America

“If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.” –Bishop Desmond Tutu

Choosing Neutrality you have chosen the side of the oppressor. In this episode our host will relay some of the tools to better understand and ways to better address the systemic and structural racism that plagues this country: let us all become active in the struggle for equity and equality for all.
