Our Founder and President Reggie Rivers is a leading voice in the Colorado Community, and his thoughts and ideas are an important resource during this time of racial tension.
Reggie is a 52-year-old African-American man who worries about the health and safety of his 17-year-old African American son, but also worries about the health and safety of our community.
Reggie has a special talent for explaining complex subjects through analogies and allegories that allow people to see the issues in a whole new light.
Our goal is to help our community see the evidence of systemic racism, and understand how to combat it.
This is a column published in The Denver Post in which Reggie explains systemic racism through a simple analogy -- White people are Labrador Retrievers; Black people are Rottweilers.
Reggie Rivers examines his own Male Privilege and his role in the asymptomatic spread of sexism to help illuminate White Privilege and its role in the asymptomatic spread of racism.
Reggie shares how remarkable it was to be in a room full of men sharing their emotions about the state of our country today.
