Shownotes Transcript

By Leah Ritter

In my podcast, I will be talking about how racism continues to be a big problem in the United States, and how technology plays a complicated role in this. People put whatever they want on the internet because the law says we can share our opinions. I am going to address how the internet and social media play a role in racism.
