"Race, Policy, and Ethics" is one of six thematic pillars of the initiative Our Shared Future: Reckoning with our Racial Past. These pillars can help us understand the past to build a better future. They are designed to make systemic racism feel identifiable, feel relevant, to our lives, and, most importantly, feel changeable.
Whether as laws, principles, or cultural practices, policies guide collective action and influence social norms. Anti-racist policies enact purposeful and ethical actions that promote racial equity and justice for all people. This pillar addresses how formal and informal policies create or worsen racial inequality.
