The Race Card Project® by Michele Norris is proud to be partnering with Michigan State University in conjunction with MSU’s yearlong project called 60/50. The yearlong community conversation on civil and human rights commemorates the 60th anniversary of the Brown v. Board Supreme Court decision and the 50th anniversary of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
Here, you can find a candid dialogue about race and cultural identity and you can share your own observations, experiences, theories, opinions, triumphs, laments or anthems. Six Words is often just a start. Click through to read some of the stories behind the six-word essays.
We hope you will also submit your own Six Word story and share this with your friends or family. We are thrilled about this collaboration and hope this space will serve as a place to stoke and capture dialogue. Come back often. Join the conversation.
The wall is ever changing. The inbox is always open.
