Two years ago, as requested by the The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), the Simmons Center became the lead organization to create a project that would map anti-black racism globally. Over the last two years, the project has had meetings with scholars and activists in Africa and the Caribbean and is now in the preliminary stage of its completion.  On March 22 and 23, 2024, members of the Steering Committee of the project met at Brown to discuss the outline of the report. The publication of the report is expected at the end of 2025.
