Again this week I want to pause from my usual blogging and instead point you to other places to read and learn about systemic racism and its pernicious impact on American society. Below are a couple of resources to check out; there are hundreds more you can find as well but these fit into the broader theme of technology and finance that I generally post about about. Thank you.

Read the following piece from Tech Crunch about efforts to take positive steps toward equity in one hub of tech development: https://techcrunch.com/2020/06/03/black-tech-for-black-lives-pledge/

Read the following critique of the empty rhetoric of some large tech companies from Fast Company: https://www.fastcompany.com/90512426/tech-companies-caring-about-black-lives-matter-is-too-little-too-late
