PRX Racism Scandal Part Three
PRX is a “nonprofit public media company” that promotes podcasting. In 2020, PRX had a festive racism scandal. I recently went to their staff page. CEO Kerri Hoffman, who was at the heart of the racism scandal, is still in the driver’s seat. A few pictures down is “Byron Green-Calisch Vice President of Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Accessibility.”
In the past four years, DEI has become somewhat of a punch line. It is interesting to note the original acronym was DEIA. Maybe if this had been branded IDEA, things would have worked out better.
The earlier PRXRS centered around CEO Hoffman touching the hair of Palace Shaw, a PRX Community Manager. In the staff photo, Dr. Green-Calisch sports a healthy set of dreadlocks. One wonders if CEO Hoffman has ever touched them. Pictures today are from The Library of Congress.
