RACE-The Power of an Illusion

[Shirley Durr]

This site  Includes interactives exploring the meaning of race. The tab
Race Timeline shows the idea of race as a recent construct in
human history. My students were fascinated with  Sorting People: Can You Tell Somebody's Race by Looking at Them? It generated some very productive discussion -- very participatory. This can be used with a PBS documentary series of the same title or, as I did, in conjunction with other lessons.
