Racial Justice
When people don’t see symbols of racism — like images of marches and sit-ins — they assume it’s not there. But a half a century after Martin Luther King, Jr., racism still runs shockingly deep. You will hear people criticizing the family structure of the Hmong or Somali, or deriding non-native speakers, or using race to explain the uneven incarceration levels of black men. Not to mention those who are denied jobs and housing. Racism is far from gone — it's just gone underground, where its work is much more subtle but no less destructive. Through our funding, we are exposing it and rooting it out.
