Our data shows that it is often uncomfortable or difficult to discuss the impacts of systemic and interpersonal racism openly and honestly, and as a result of that many people lack an understanding of the scale of racism in America. People must be able to talk openly about the issues facing our communities in order to create change. Simply put, you cannot change what you do not acknowledge. By harnessing behavioral science, EPU’s narrative work continues to create opportunities for discussion on the lasting impact of our nation’s history, on people and institutions and, as a result, moves the nation forward in its pursuit of opportunity for all.
