“Race. Your Thoughts. Six Words. Please Send.” Over 500 thousand Americans answered this six-word prompt on award-winning journalist Michele Norris’ “The Race Card Project” website. These responses inspired Norris’ newest book, Our Hidden Conversations, a collection of thoughtful, sometimes humorous, and unflinchingly honest stories. Norris stated that the number of responses has recently reached over 700 thousand on the website.

Norris and Joseph took turns reading some of the responses received directly from the book during the 45-minute presentation.
