Good morning!
I start this week with a very informative video shared by Frank Staropoli that is an explanation by the author Tim Wise of the context of the Buffalo tragedy. It is 1 hour long but well worth the listen. The 3 recommendations at the end for how to combat white supremacy, great replacement conspiracy theory is well worth our time.
Some of you have provided great reviews for the presentation by Justin Murphy on his books “Your Children are in Very Great Danger”. See the attached for an upcoming presentation.
Many worthwhile news articles this week. I place some of them in order of appearance:
