In this episode, standing up when hatred is stoked; building community through brave conversations about race; and why representation and presence matters. Here we talk hiring more black teachers, as well as The Black Panther and A Wrinkle in Time.

Plus we shine a light on a civil rights lawyer from the 1950’s and 1960’s, and Val rethinks her views on country music.
