Remixing Colorblind

New documentary on race and higher education is now available!

Remixing Colorblind (http://bit.ly/2b8iY5I) is a documentary that
examines how higher education shapes our perception of race and
"others".  This documentary embarks on examining how the educational
system today shapes our understanding of race and, by extension, the
nuances of race relations - including notions of implicit bias,
individual racism, institutional racism and reverse racism. This is
explored through conversations with faculty, administrators, teachers,
guidance counselors and young people across different types of
institutions, including HBCU's, predominantly White institutions, high
schools in the inner city and on the street interviews. Viewers embark
on a journey that will encourage them to critique the ways in which the
educational system has shaped their own notions of race and influenced
their relationships with "others".

The documentary is available on DVD and Blu Ray for library acquisition,
licensing, screenings, etc. Please email remixingcolorblind@gmail.com.
