"Race: The Power of an Illusion" is a PBS series and
website that tackles the tough questions about "race." This resource has helped me tremendously in clarifying my discussions and writing. Understanding the concept of a "social construction" takes time. Realizing that "race" is not genetically or culturally-based is sometimes a new idea for many folks. I can't explain it better than these folks have, so here is this resource again. Enjoy!
