I finally made it to the Mn Science Museum's Race Exhibit. My nephew and I went and both of us found the various exhibits very interesting and well put together. There were both interactive exhibits as well as different video sessions. A couple of the really good exhibits were:
- Youth on Race video: Multi-racial theater troupe from St. Paul Central High school discuss how race has affected their identity.
- Student Lockers exhibit: Students from St. Paul Peace Academy decorate lockers with items regarding what race means to them.
- Hapa Project: Photographic exhibit of people who describe themselves as multi-racial Asian Americans.
- Living With Race Theater video: Stories of common people's experience with race and racism in the United States.
- US Census Shifting Categories: large photo of multi-racial group from Augsburg that shows how various racial groups have been classified by the US Census Bureau through the years.
Here are some various websites that featured in the exhibit:
Since the exhibit ends this coming Sunday, I am glad that I finally made it. |  |
