In the face of racism

Systemic racism and a long history of discrimination have meant
that African Americans have always fared worse in the labor
market, both in good times and more so in bad. Losing out of more
than a century of wealth creation, black households are falling
further and further behind. And after a decade coupled by the
Great Recession and the COVID-19 pandemic, the time for radical
change is far past due.


The murder of George Floyd and the protests that have followed
are creating a period of global contemplation, about how to
react, what to feel, and how best to improve our society. Listen
in to Arun, Bradley, and Theodora, as we talk about some of our
feelings about the past few weeks, how financial services and
venture capital have reacted, and what we see as some of the
things we think need to change.
