Politics is an EXCHANGE!!!
The Smithsonian has formed a task force to address the massive collection of human remains held by its museums, which includes 255 human brains that were removed primarily from dead Black and Indigenous people, as well as other people of color, without the consent or knowledge of their families. The so-called racial brain collection was revealed by a Washington Post investigation. It was mostly collected in the first half of the 20th century at the behest of Ales Hrdlicka, a racist anthropologist who was trying to scientifically prove the superiority of white people. We speak with reporters Nicole Dungca and Claire Healy about the series and what they found. Dungca is also president of the Asian American Journalists Association.
A new Washington Post investigation found that the Smithsonian possesses 255 brains, most of which were removed upon death from Black, Indigenous and other people of color in the early 20th century, largely without consent from the individuals or their families. Join reporter Nicole Dungca for a conversation with Michael Blakey, a member of the newly created Smithsonian human remains task force, about The Post’s yearlong investigation and how the organization is reckoning with this history.
