Episode #14: #Charlottesville

#Charlottesville 

In episode no. 14, Jeff and Laura take a minute to pause and discuss what’s been happening in this week’s recent events in Charlottesville, VA after a violent rally/protest over the taking down of the confederate statue of General Robert E. Lee. We are still forming our thoughts, but we do think it is a critical time to open up the dialogue about social justice/racial issues embedded within this protest, the messaging and response to the event, and what’s been happening since #Charlottesville in the United States of America. 

We are not finished processing, but we’ve been reading and listening to a lot of different voices -- so we thought we’d share a few recommended resources for you read, listen to, and more to help you engage and continue the conversation with those around you.
