Ethnicity / Race

  • True Colors.“ (ABC, PrimeTime Live). Diane Sawyer and news crew stage what is basically a “matched study]]“ experiment by pairing John, who is white, and Glen, who is black, and follow them with a series of hidden cameras with as they expose racism in a variety of settings. Although old (early 1990s) and very short (just 19 minutes), if I could only show one film to a class about race in the U.S., I would choose this one. Available for purchase here.
