This report of Black American religion has kept me away from twitter (and sleep!) for a while now. Happy to finally be able to share the results. pewforum.org/2021/02/16/fait…

Last year, I used our data to explore a concept known among social scientists as "linked fate", that is, how much does what happens to people in various racial/ethnic groups affect what happens in your own life? Here's what I found. pewresearch.org/fact-tank/20…

Most U.S. adults feel what happens to their own racial or ethnic group affects them personally

Black Americans are the most likely to say that what happens to people from their racial group affects them personally.
