What you see here are candid submissions from people who have engaged in a little exercise. Here’s how it works. Think about the word Race. How would you distill your thoughts, experiences or observations about race into one sentence that only has six words? Try it.

+-About the Six Words
That’s right. Your thoughts. One sentence. Six words.

Since I began asking people to share their thoughts about race, ethnicity and cultural identity, thousands of submissions have poured in from the web, by mail, by hand and via Twitter. Spend some time scrolling through the Race Card wall. Click through to read some of the stories behind the six-word submissions. Send in your own six-word essay. Share this with your friends. Join the conversation.

We’re glad you’re here. Get comfortable. Stay a while. Come back often. Enjoy. Explore. Evolve.

Thanks for your time.
