ABOUT US?
After 27 years of study, the United States government decided to update its collection of racial and ethnic data. A “Multiracial” classification was not included. I also believe that the current policy decisions of the US government, the Census Bureau, OMB, The Supreme Court, and other groups are harmful and mean that a true Multiracial classification may never be recognized.
Therefore, Project RACE will officially cease operations on August 1, 2024.
Project RACE has been actively involved in supporting a Multiracial category for 34 years and has made great strides in data reporting for schools, businesses, the medical community, and private sector data collection. We have been responsible for advancing the popular usage of “Multiracial” even though the US government rejects its use currently. Thank you to all of those who have helped in the past and will continue the fight for the Multiracial community.
I have personally been the head of Project RACE for 34 years. It has been my honor to work with people of all races and ethnicities to fight for the rights of the Multiracial community. Thank you for your help throughout the years.

If you are Multiracial, you may select two or more races.
