I'm sorry most of you missed Time Wise's talk. He's a really dynamic speaker with a lot of important things to say about race in America in the 21st C (and the past).
One of the topics he addresses was the myth of a "post-racial" America. His main argument in this regard is that not only is there still racism in the US, but that we don't solve that or any problem by ignoring it or pretending we're past it or not naming it. His call to action: name the problem. Do not dance around it. Call it what it is.
I have put a link to his website on our blog under the tab "links to other sites." I recommend watching some of his videos, too.
Also, the exhibit is pretty cool. It's at the history museum until April 4. I highly recommend it.
