See the Powerful Responses to “The Race Issue”—and Send Us Your Own

Nat Geo’s readers had a lot to say about the role of race in their lives. Let’s keep the conversation going.

The April 2018 issue of National Geographic magazine is devoted to how race defines, separates, and unites us—and it clearly hit a nerve.

Illuminating the human journey has always been a core part of our mission, so it made sense for us to cover one of the most important issues of our time. Our cover featured fraternal twins who look very different from one another, we published articles covering topics that range from police stops to white anxiety to the lack of scientific basis for race, and editor-in-chief Susan Goldberg wrote a letter calling out the racism of our own past coverage.

We knew our readers would have a lot to say about the way race has impacted their lives, too.
