Channel: Knight Foundation
Date: 2020-10-29

Recent research finds that Americans have greatly different perceptions of the discrimination and racism that Black Americans experience. It also shows that the composition of our social networks matter. What factors drive these differences in perception? How do these divergent and increasingly polarized realities play out in American communities? How can we work to bridge these divides?
