Historically Speaking: Intersecting Race, DNA, and Demography

Join the African American History and Culture Museum for a conversation about advancements in genetic research and its implications for understanding race. NPR’s Michel Martin will moderate a discussion with Alondra Nelson, Rick Kittles, and Vence Bonham on how new findings in genetics tear down old ideas about race, grapple with the unfinished business of slavery, inspire meaningful conversation of reparations, establish ties with ancestral homelands, and advance biomedical research.
