Episode description

Dwight Coates, Chief Information Officer for Cydcor, expressed dismay about what America is experiencing in 2020 regarding racism. He shared his repertoire of actions, personally and professionally to effect the change we need for the reimagined black relations.

"When I look back, could I have done more, absolutely could have done more. To think this terrible situation with George Floyd has just really awaken a lot of us to have conversations that we should have been having twenty thirty years ago. I mean, the fact that black women couldn't vote until the mid 60s, I just learnt that. That was shocking to me, and I was born in the 70s, and to think that wasn't there ten years ago? You're thinking in your mind, maybe this was there two hundred years ago, or a hundred years ago." - Dwight Coates
