NPR’s Michele Norris, former regular host of “All Things Considered,” just won a Peabody Award from the University of Georgia for her self-funded work, “The Race Card Project.”  It invites people to submit 6-word phrases or sentences, describing their experiences and impressions of race in America.

In a conversation with WABE’s Denis O’Hayer, Norris talked about how the project has grown, and about the effects it is having on people who take part in it.
