Dan Hacker 10/17/2019 7:40 AMDuring these few weeks I have been eating at least one vegetarian meal per day. I am learning that there are some really interesting vegetarian dishes out there.

REFLECTION QUESTIONCommunity Support Businesses Owned by People of ColorKeen Independent Research Foundation conducted a recent study that highlights the disparities in the availability of city contracts and loans to businesses, and how this disparity correlates to owners as people of color. The study showed that Minority businesses enterprises (MBEs) are more likely to have difficulties in receiving loans or city contracts. In what ways can you address systemic racism like that demonstrated in this study?
