It's amazing what a little organization can do!

Before class on Tuesday I was unable to envision what this documentary was going to look/feel like. The class had an exercise the week before in which each student made a presentation on one of the following topics:

• Define tolerance as it pertains to race relations in America
• How is change (perceptions, mindsets, laws, etc..) initiated and conducted in America
• What progress has been made toward or away from cultural coexistence in America
• Define racial persistence
• Define individual identity
• Define social identity
• Define cultural identity
• Research and define cultural assimilation
• Research and define Cultural pluralism

The lazy student in me thought this was pointless, "lets get on with the documentary already!" But as usual I stand corrected and feel this exercise helped a lot with understanding different angles these questions can take you in. So once that was all over and we huddled in our groups for a bit we have some direction and ideas to confidently take that first step into making this project happen. I'm really excited.
