Sands Anderson is proud to support our community through our ongoing literacy initiative, and we were even prouder to recently present R.E.A.L., the Reading Enrichment Academy of Learners, with this fully stocked book cart. A local non-profit organization, R.E.A.L. provides literacy assistance to students in the Richmond area in grades K-8 and helps them build a solid educational foundation. We're inspired by R.E.A.L.'s mission and hope these books will make a small difference in its important work.
Sands Anderson updated their business hours.
This morning, two of our staff were pleased to accept our recent award for being named "The Law Firm Best Place to Work in Montgomery County" by the Montgomery County Chamber of Commerce.
Yesterday, Sands Anderson sponsored the Lora M. Robins Speaker Series, Equity: From Concept to Action, through Leadership Metro Richmond, featuring New York Times journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones. Ms. Hannah-Jones' work focuses on racial segregation in housing and schools, and she is the lead writer of the 1619 Project. We're proud to have supported this virtual event and the important conversation around school segregation and integration.

Thank you to all who attended this morning's powerful session with Nikole Hannah-Jones and Dr. Jamelle Wilson to close out the 2020 Lora M. Robins Speaker Series - EQUITY: From Concept to Action. We hope you will continue this conversation within your circles of we influence. Our conversation covered everything from gerrymandering to school funding to the impacts of COVID-19. Within these challenges, there are also opportunities. Let's get to work.
Today, we salute all who have served or are serving in the proud and honorable tradition of the United States military, including many of our Sands Anderson veterans!
