Race: The Power of an Illusion (Documentary Screening & Discussion)

The division of the world's peoples into distinct racial groups has become so deeply embedded in our psyches, many would promptly dismiss any suggestion of its falsity. Yet, that's exactly what this provocative, three-part series by California Newsreel claims. Race: The Power of an Illusion questions the very idea of race as innate biology, suggesting that a belief in inborn racial difference is no sounder than believing that the sun revolves around the earth. Join us for a three-session screening and discussion of this classic yet still timely documentary. This program is presented in collaboration with Shelburne's Equity & Diversity Committee.
