Systemic racism might be a new term for a lot of people, but today we\u2019re going to dive into the judicial side of it. In this episode, Alisha will hold our hands through Oregon\u2019s historically racist laws, but this time it\u2019s to celebrate their undoing! By revisiting the infamous murders of a couple caught up in the Portland mob, we\u2019ll learn about racist roots as to why this law was created in the first place, the lives it affected for nearly a century and how its being overturned will continue to affect Oregonians that are in the appeal process. \n\n\nThis week\u2019s episode is brought to you from Simplisafe.
