Hogs in The Valley: Anti-Racism in Bergen County (ft. Sarah Evelyn of @valley.for.change)

Dan and Sam get really local on this one and explore a controversy that recently rocked the Board of Education with jurisdiction over where we went to high school. We talked with Sarah Evelyn of Valley for Change, a newly formed anti-racist organization in the Northern Valley region of Bergen County, New Jersey. She gave us a crucial background on the organization’s successful push to advocate for the removal of Dan Eller, a former member of the Board of Education, after photos surfaced of him wearing blackface while he was in high school. Yes, the same high school that Dan and Sam went to! Sarah helps recap the blockbuster 7-hour Board of Education meeting where Eller’s defenders and racial justice advocates made their cases until about 3:30 AM. We also got the details on what’s next for Valley for Change and antiracist efforts in the area. Afterwards Dan and Sam discuss Alan Dershowitz soiling the good name of Lucy Vincent Beach, and the latest prominent Trump supporters getting COVID-19.
