Instead of listening to an episode of Front End Happy Hour this week, we want to encourage you to use the hour to listen to, watch, and read educational materials about the long history of structural racism and injustice Black people have & continue to face as well as learn how you can be actively anti-racist to affect real change. In our show notes, we’ve provided a list of picks that includes podcasts, videos, books, and articles available for you to learn more. The list of resources will be in the show notes. Simply put, Black lives matter.
