We can’t have an honest reckoning about race until we start to recognize all the ways in which privilege and prejudice creep into our lives, says author and digital strategist Luvvie Ajayi. There comes a time in every upwardly mobile Black person’s life when they encounter someone who tells them how “well-spoken” and “articulate” they are. It i...

An artist’s slavery relics and reimagined KKK robes show us the reality of systemic racism

Paul Rucker’s eye-opening work forces people to look at the bias and bigotry that have been sewn into the fabric of America.
