Hai Hong, a contributor for CSTA, writes: "In recognition of #ShutDownSTEM, I decided to take a break from 'business as usual' to reflect on ways to use my voice to stand up against anti-Black racism. I also explored ways to incorporate a better understanding of structural racism in my day-to-day work in CS education. In addition to COVID and school closures disproportionately impacting communities of color in the U.S., the recent headlines and protests over the deaths of Black people are a stark reminder of the injustice and violence that the Black community continues to face. The news has impacted and galvanized people around the world, including in Germany, where I live."
