In light of the national conversation and protests following the killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and countless other Black Americans, we will not be recording an episode of We Have The Numbers this week. Instead, we will dedicate that time and much more to learning about and fighting against the hundreds of years of systemic oppression that have plagued this country. We hope you will choose to do the same.

Because we think it\\u2019s important to use this week and all weeks to understand what it\\u2019s like being Black in America, we\\u2019ve compiled a list of a few podcasts that aid in that mission:

\\n
    \\n
  • 1619 by the New York Times
  • \\n
  • Code Switch by NPR
  • \\n
  • Intersectionality Matters! by Kimberl\\xe9 Crenshaw
  • \\n
  • Lynching in America by EJI
  • \\n
\\n

The Challenge has a special place in our hearts but feels absolutely trivial compared to the issues at stake. 

\\n

We look forward to returning soon.
