Racial or ethnical identification can be a sensitive issue.
Basketball “great” Michael Jordan once said, “I realize that I’m black, but I like to be viewed as a person, and this is everybody’s wish.”
Michael James Brown poses questions about race and ethnicity in his Other Awareness Project. The writer and producer spoke on the subject Feb. 1 in Hart Chapel at Clarion University.
Brown, a writer and producer, said the major goal of his project is to end putting people into racial groups.
Brown explained his project is designed and created for the current generation of college students because they have the best combination of actual experience and resources to end the discussion concerning the so-called perpetual puzzle that is racism.
Brown traveled to cities in the United States, interviewing complete strangers about race.
He shot 15 hours of interview footage and did all the editing himself.
His project, which includes discussions with many different people all across the country, shows that there is no legal definition of what it means to be white or black. It concludes that it doesn’t make much sense to include racial classifications on most state and federal forms. More »
