Washington Post journalist Reed Albergotti published an in-depth article focusing on racial bias in the clubby world of venture capitalism.

California Civil Rights Law Group Founding Partner, Larry Organ, a forerunner in the fight against racism in employment settings, is quoted in the Washington Post article, “… people have held [race cases] to a much higher standard than almost every other civil rights case…because people don’t want to believe that racism is continuing.”
