The Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture has launched an online portal, "Talking About Race,” as a multi-media resource for education on racism and racial identity and their impact on society. Following the murders of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, the Smithsonian felt it was important that the portal’s release date be moved up in order to “help individuals and communities foster constructive discussions on one of the nation’s most challenging topics: racism, and its corrosive impact,” according to a article in the Art Newspaper published on June 1.
