Open videoLearn the story of race from biological, cultural, and historical points of view — through interactive components, historical artifacts, compelling photographs, and multimedia presentations. The RACE Project explains the differences among people and reveals the reality — and unreality — of race, while encouraging visitors to engage in discussion about how race continues to shape our lives today.
StoryCorps
StoryCorps, public radio's oral history project, travels the country recording conversations among loved ones. The program came to the Museum for the opening of this exhibition to record visitors' conversations about how the concept of race has affected their lives. Follow the video links above for excerpts of these conversations from StoryCorps Boston, as heard on "Morning Edition" from 90.9 WBUR, Boston's NPR news station. For more, visit wbur.org.
