Learn the story of race from biological, cultural, and historical points of view — through interactive components, historical artifacts, compelling photographs, and multimedia presentations. The RACE Project explains the differences among people and reveals the reality — and unreality — of race, while encouraging visitors to engage in discussion about how race continues to shape our lives today. For exhibit information/hours and admission fees go to www.mos.org.

OPEN HOUSE with Jay Kaufman: Many hoped that the election of Barack Obama as President signaled the end of racism in the U.S. However, there is ample evidence, nationally and locally, that we must continue to be vigilant about racial tensions and prejudice in our midst. Join with your neighbors for a difficult but important conversation about issues of race in our community. Share your experiences of insensitivity, intolerance and discrimination. What impact has it had on your life? What can or should we, individually and collectively, do about it?
