LA Times announces a new major project.

Prompted by a pandemic, an economic crisis and a national debate over policing, our nation now faces a long-delayed reckoning with systemic racism.

We owe it to readers to also take part in that self-examination.

This editorial is part of that process. https://t.co/8BltxetNK3

"Newspapers are described as a first rough draft of history. But in truth, the first rough draft written by this newspaper—and those across the country—has been woefully incomplete....We apologize for The Times’ history of racism." https://t.co/CPOAKSBTHC
