HODGE & LANGLEY LAW FIRM STANDS WITH THE BLACK COMMUNITY

As we watch in disgust the videos of the deaths of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and hear of countless others, we are filled with the most powerful emotions a human can possibly muster. We condemn institutional racism and the police violence it gives rise to; even if it is a small minority of bad officers doing the harm. These do a great disservice to the many officers dedicating their lives to our safety and well-being. We struggle to try to find the words to explain all of this to our children. Nonetheless, we can say fundamentally and without exception: Black Lives Matter.

We know this is a widely-held belief as evidenced by the masses of peaceful protestors insisting upon real change. We are committed to being a part of that change. We have and will continue to commit to diverse hiring practices. We have and will support the Racial Equity Institute training seminars. We have and will seek to amplify Black voices. We have and will support the Spartanburg Chamber in Diversity and Inclusion. These are our continuing commitments to you.

We ask that you also commit where you can. Lift up those with whom you interact. Do the work of learning and listening. Be vulnerable. Confront the evil of racism where you find it. A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. Walk with us as we go.
