Reckoning With Our Racial Past

Our Shared Future: Reckoning with Our Racial Past, is a collaborative, multidisciplinary platform developed by the Smithsonian Institution to explore how race has informed each of our lives, regardless of our individual racial or ethnic identity. Drawing on the breadth of the Smithsonian's research, exhibitions, and collections, we explore the complicated history and legacy of race and racism in our communities and institutions. The work of Reckoning with Our Racial Past supports a collective shift toward equity. Confronting race and racism is difficult but necessary work. The Smithsonian strives to create collaborative, impactful spaces, and amplify multiple perspectives in service of a more equitable shared future for all.
