The Executive Director of Project RACE, Susan Graham, will be interviewed on Mixed Race Radio this Wednesday. Here is the link, if you would like to join in:
Project
RACE (Reclassify All Children Equally) members are the national
advocates for multiracial children, teens, adults, and our families.
Project RACE was started in 1990, so we are in our 22nd year! Susan
Graham, the mother of two multiracial children and Chris Ashe, the
mother of a multiracial child began Project RACE because of their own
frustration with their own children being forced to pick only one race
on forms in America. That meant, very simply, that a child had to choose
to be her mother’s race or her father’s race. Susan
and Chris planned to start a grassroots movement to pass State
legislation, mandate the US Census Bureau and federal agencies to add
the term “multiracial” to forms, or in some way accommodate the needs of
multiracial people. Project RACE was an overnight sensation as people
from all across the country joined. People from other countries also
heard or read about us and joined—primarily military families—all over
the world.
