Washington, August 17 (RHC)-- The Washington Post has revealed the Smithsonian Institution holds a so-called "Racial Brain Collection" that contains 255 brains gathered in the first half of the 20th century at the behest of a racist anthropologist who was trying to scientifically prove the superiority of white people.
An investigation by The Washington Post found most of the brains in the Smithsonian collection were removed from dead Black and Indigenous people and other people of color, often taken without consent from their families.
