MISSION 20 Recaps [in MDR] documents, personalizes, and quantifies racial and discrimination incidents that occur to ordinary Black people on a daily basis. Highlighting twenty formative events in an individual’s life in their own words, 20 Recaps takes an unflinching look at deeply ingrained racial attitudes and behavior in American society and worldwide. 20 Recaps encourages listeners and viewers to reflect on individual stories as well on their own biases in order to build empathy and recognize societal practices that perpetuate racism so we can address change constructively. WHY 20? Most people of color will have experienced numerous microaggression, stereotyping, racism, and discrimination incidents throughout their lives. Still, when someone hears about an individual incident of this nature, the impulse is to isolate it or blame it on the ignorance of the perpetrator. 20 Recaps underscores how entrenched such events are in daily life. For most of us who have experienced discrimination or racism, it generally spans across time periods and sectors of our lives, be it professional, academic, personal, or social. As well, if many of us have lived in different cities or regions of the country, or if we have traveled abroad and experienced such behavior, it is more difficult to typify these events or the individuals who perpetrate them.
