As a way to help promote those that are speaking out against racism, I am starting a new ongoing feature on BeatCaffeine called “Listen Here” (named after Eddie Harris’ 1968 soul jazz classic) where I will share recommended media, literature, and other resourceful information that is addressing this issue. These recommendations will include podcasts, radio shows, books, art exhibits, anti-racist organizations and more.
