The Lack of Output from the Center for Anti-Racist Research

The Center for Anti-Racist Research, led by Ibram X. Kendi, has come under scrutiny for its lack of output despite receiving millions in grants and donations. The center, which aimed to be a premier research center for racial issues, has raised at least $43 million, with notable donations from Twitter founder Jack Dorsey and companies like TJ Maxx and Peloton. However, critics have pointed out that there have been few tangible results from the center, with examples such as a national anti-racist book festival and a convening on bigotry that failed to produce substantial research or scholarly dialogue. These concerns raise questions about the effectiveness and mismanagement of funds at the center.
