In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, several moments happened. The moment we learned of the killing of Ahmaud Arbery. The moment we heard about the killing of Breonna Taylor in her own home. The moment we saw the killing of George Floyd. The painful crack of the nation’s collective heartbreak around the killings of these and countless other black people loudly called out to us. We recognized the existence of racial injustice in the narratives of these events and, once again asked, “what is ours to do?” We decided to focus Season 2 on the virus of racism that has not yet been eradicated. All of the episodes this season will feature conversations with some of Dallas’ nonprofit leaders who are black.
