The Race, Prosperity, and Inclusion Initiative (RPII) at Brookings is launching a new series, “Uprooted: Rediscovering American history,” highlighting the narratives, contributions, and policies championed by marginalized groups that have helped shape a more inclusive democracy. This series will examine historic policy gains and their influence and impact on the current policy environment to provide concrete policy recommendations across five key themes: migration and immigration, civic engagement and community power, inclusion and cultural politics, community health and well-being, and technology and innovation.  

On March 25, join RPII at Brookings for a two-panel discussion featuring insights from the project’s lead researchers. Panelists will explore the major themes of the project and offer timely analysis of current issues through a historical lens, identifying emerging pathways to advance racial equity.
