On the website of Houston-based Accelerate Learning is a group photo of young people, lined up and holding hands.
The hands are black and white.
“Our nation’s black communities have long faced the repeated, harmful effects of systemic racism within the justice and education systems,” Accelerate Learning says. “Recent events coupled with the Black Lives Matter movement have brought these issues to the forefront, causing individuals, companies and the nation as a whole to reflect on and examine their own role in the system. As a company, we support nonviolent actions to raise awareness and support systemic changes that correct these injustices.”
