Summary

Welcome back to the Goblin Lore Podcast. During the introduction to last week's episode our hosts discussed the importance of taking a more active stance when it comes to social issues. DeQuan Watson [https://twitter.com/powrdragn] (one of the hosts of the Color of Magic [https://twitter.com/ColorofMTG] podcast) had put out a message stating that he is willing to talk with people who might have questions, both about what they can do and about the presence of Content Creators of Color. In part one of a two part series the hosts discuss with DeQuan representation of Characters of Color in Magic Lore with a fair amount of tangential seeming stories that are very important to the overall discussion. In Pt 2 we will be back with mailbag questions and actionable advice.
