About the Project

In 2010, award-winning journalist Michele Norris started The Race Card Project, where she asked people around the world to send her a postcard, and, in just six words, share their thoughts, questions, experiences, and aspirations about identity and race. The result was astonishing. The responses were vulnerable, honest, and revealing. And she compiled many of the postcards into a new book called "Our Hidden Conversations: What Americans Really Think About Race and Identity."
