Throughout the 20th century, communities in many parts of the United States used racial covenants to codify neighborhood segregation, a structural legacy that continues to drive inequities in health and economic success today. In this Think Global panel, experts with backgrounds in history, education and social justice will explore how communities are confronting the ongoing impacts of this often-hidden history, a process that can be a powerful tool in building stronger communities that are better able to flourish and respond to adversity.

Many descriptions of human nature imagine that human variation is variation around a central tendency or "normal" human form. This makes a lot of sense. Many human traits do seem nearly universal in humans (e.g. a bilateral bodily organization). Similarly, many descriptions of human moral psychology hypothesize that humans have a central or normal core of morality. For example, some moral philosophers view nearly every human as recognizing certain "moral fixed points" that can constrain moral theorizing.
