A .C .E . with Cleveland Museum of Natural History Throughout history, genetic variation within the human species has been a source of community strength and personal identity. It has also been the basis for discrimination and oppression. In this session, discuss with our educators the idea that "[Racism] is not about how you look, it is about how people assign meaning to how you look." (Robin G.D. Kelley, Historian) Humans aren't alone in this behavior—some animal species also segregate themselves. Participants in this program will try some activities and discuss ideas that may challenge how they think about the very human-specific term, "race."
