episode notes
“Doing the job” is a phrase often heard when talking about racial justice. We heard this story a lot after the death of George Floyd in 2020. And while we need to keep talking about it, there is an important aspect that is missing from the “works”. On this episode of How To!: Courtney Martin features Garrett Backes, author of How To. the right kind of white Founder of the Burnraisers Project, he helped Elizabeth Doerr speak to fellow white parents about the effects of opting out of their children's public schools.
