“Race. Your Thoughts. Six Words. Please Send.” Over half a million Americans answered this six-word prompt on award-winning journalist Michele Norris’ The Race Card Project website. These responses inspired Norris’ newest book Our Hidden Conversations, a collection of thoughtful, sometimes humorous and unflinchingly honest stories. Join her in conversation with Dr. Peniel Joseph, a UT Austin professor and founding director of the LBJ School’s Center for the Study of Race and Democracy, for an unflinching discussion about how Americans truly view race and identity.
