A doctor who helped collect hundreds of unauthorized remains for the Smithsonian in the early 1900s disproportionately took the brains of Black people: report

•  The Washington Post found hundreds of brains from the Smithsonian were collected without consent. 
• Many of the brains were taken from Black people with the help of local hospitals.
• The Smithsonian now says it will work to repatriate remains taken in the mid 1900s.

An investigation into the Smithsonian found that dozens of brains obtained in the early 1900s — often for eugenics research — weren't taken with the family's permission.
