Morning Plenary with Michele Norris: The Race Card Project – Eavesdropping on America’s Conversation on Race

Start your morning with an eye-opening and thought-provoking session featuring Peabody Award-winning journalist Michele Norris, founder of The Race Card Project™. What began as a simple request for people to express their thoughts on race in just six words has grown into a collection of over 500,000 personal stories from all 50 states and 96 countries.

Through these powerful six-word memoirs, Michele Norris has sparked candid, courageous conversations about race, culture, and identity—conversations that build bridges, challenge assumptions, and foster deeper understanding. Join us as she shares insights from this groundbreaking project and explores how we can all engage in meaningful dialogue that brings people together across differences.

This is a session you won’t want to miss—prepare to be inspired, challenged, and motivated to be part of the conversation!
