Race and Revelation in Our American Stories
DateMarch 19, 2024
How are race and identity driving conversations among Americans of all backgrounds in 2024, and what stories do they reveal about who we are as a vastly diverse country?
Award-winning journalist Michele Norris joined Mellon Foundation President Elizabeth Alexander in celebration of many different voices, perspectives, and experiences lifted up in Norris' new book, Our Hidden Conversations, discussed the power of open dialogue about race in America today.
This event was originally livestreamed on March 19, 2024.
A Note from Michele Norris:

Some examples from the chat were:
“Too Black but Not Black enough”
“I am only three generations removed.”
“When will America own its racism? ”
“But that was so long ago.”
“No you can't touch my hair.”
“They want our rhythm not blues.”
