[EQ] The Story of Race

The Story of Race

 

A Project of the American Anthropological Association

Funded by the Ford Foundation & National Science Foundation

 

            Website: http://www.understandingrace.org/home.html

 

The exhibition RACE: Are we so different? brings together the everyday experience of living with race, its history as an idea, the role of science in that history, and the findings of contemporary science that are challenging its foundations

 

The RACE exhibition explores three primary themes:

- The science of human variation and where current scientific understanding is inconsistent with popular notions of race.

- The history of the idea of race, with an emphasis on the role of science in shaping the concept of race.

- The contemporary experience of race and racism in the United States, the often-invisible ways race and racism have infiltrated laws, customs, & institutions.

 

The educational goal of the RACE project is to help individuals of all ages better understand the origins and manifestations of race and racism in everyday life by investigating race and human variation through the framework of science.
