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….
