Race for America is an initiative that focuses on spotlighting the history, culture, and impact of racial minorities in the United States. You will be able to access free content (an established Google Drive filled with historical, political, and social resources) and learn about important historical facts on how these racial groups have contributed to American history. We will also create interactive timelines and infographics to learn more about the journey and the race for America.
