History

In 2015, Race Inquiry Inc., a 501 (c) (3), was founded as an independent, non-commercial, website devoted to the curation and dissemination of news about race in America. Race is interpreted broadly, which includes the political and social activity of the major racial/ethnic groups, and their interactions on the American stage.
