GRR: Global Race Report

GRR: Global Race Report

Some say, “All roads lead to Rome.” But all roads lead to race, as well. Race. It always looms. It can spill out, messily, at any moment. It can do this, not only where you are, but anywhere. And any media which talks realistically about race must make these facts part of the context. GRR — Global Race Report — does. Hosted and produced by Harry Allen, each weekly edition of Global Race Report gives you a 360º view — past, present, and future — of how race works in our world. Neither screechy nor timid, Global Race Report speaks frankly, with an eye on communicating complex ideas in a straightforward way. Global Race Report…with Harry Allen. It’s the future…of race….

These leaked lists are documents local prosecutors had long kept under wraps, because, on them, are the na...

On GRR: Global Race Report, we talk with NYU professor Nicholas Mirzoeff about Mizzy (aka Bacari-Bronze O’Garro), the famed, Black, 18-year-old, UK TikTok prankster. Plus, we analyze the “reckless eyeballing” controversy that erupted when Mizzy’s gaze didn’t go where a white man wanted it to go.

 Then, GRR continues our unique special feature, X100: The Malcolm X Century. Every week, for 100 weeks — once for every year since his bir...

On GRR: Global Race Report, we’ll be talking with Thomas Healy, author of Soul City; a book about the birth, life, and death of a Southern town; one planned, founded, and built, in the 1960s, by Black Americans.

Then, GRR will be introducing a regular feature, about which we're especially excited.
In less than two years, it’ll be a century since the birth of el-Hajj Malik el-Shabazz, or, as he is more commonly kno...
