"Race Beyond the U.S." is one of six thematic pillars of the initiative Our Shared Future: Reckoning with our Racial Past. These pillars can help us understand the past to build a better future. They are designed to make systemic racism feel identifiable, feel relevant, to our lives, and, most importantly, feel changeable.
Racial terminologies may change in different national contexts, but racism exists globally. This pillar acknowledges the global realities of racism and seeks to learn from international efforts toward truth and reconciliation. The concurrent and intertwined pandemics of COVID-19 and racism demand that we, as an international community, learn how to move forward together.
