More Race

Today we reflected on the quiz we took last Thursday. We used that quiz to help identify the assumptions we have about race and created a list of those assumptions. We shared our lists in small groups after discussing how to discuss this topic without judgement but instead through the lens that we all had/have flawed assumptions about race and that we need to allow ourselves to be open to changing our perception about race so as to eliminate these flawed or inaccurate assumptions.

We then watched "The Difference Between Us" which is a an episode of "Race: he Power of an Illusion" documentary. We then discussed our assumptions and identified which were incorrect and why.

We used slides 3-10 from this link.
