Schafer: How a St. Thomas professor helps execs learn 'historical recovery' - StarTribune.com

Some great background here on how SPS is working to Reduce System Racism!

Williams started his work at SPS Commerce with the eight top executives of the company. All of them did six to eight hours of homework beforehand. Then a broader group of SPS employees went to class, and soon a version of this short history of the Black American experience had been shared with all of the roughly 1,500 employees of the company. It will be for any new hires, too, Black said.

I was in those sessions with Yohuru Williams and the learning was incredibly impactful, and Williams' delivery made it even more potent. There is still so much work to be done here, but we continue to push forward! ✊
