Diversity means more than meeting the status quo in the workplace. It means more than blindly complying with societal norms. It means more than a 2 hour seminar in your office’s conference room. Luckily, there are individuals out there who realize this is a much bigger project.
“Race: Are we so different?” is a traveling exhibition developed by the American Anthropological Association. The exhibit examines racial issues through three different lenses: history, science, and lived experiences. “Race: Are we so different?” utilizes interactive components, historical artifacts, iconic objects, photography, and a wide range of multimedia displays to open the American public’s eyes about this important subject.
