During the George Floyd protests in 2020, Mark Eckhardt—CEO of COMMON—continued to post about his experiences as a Black man in America. Surprised by shocked reactions from white friends, Eckhardt decided to create a platform for more Black Americans to share their experiences. We helped produce onemilliontruths.com and the introductory film, encouraging people to share video stories of how they’ve been affected by racism. By tapping into the power of personal testimony to record past and present accounts of racism, One Million Truths aims to amplify Black voices so they’re heard, documented and recognised.
