University Museum Exhibit - RACE: Are We So Different?
Mon, 02/06/2012 (All day) - Sat, 06/09/2012 (All day)

"RACE: Are We So Different?" helps visitors understand what race is and what it is not. It gives them the tools to recognize racial ideas and practices in contemporary American life. The exhibit explores three themes: the everyday experience of race, the contemporary science that is challenging common ideas about race, and the history of this idea in the United States. Exhibit opening reception, February 9, 7:00pm.  Museum hours: M-F 9:00-4:30 and Saturdays 1:00-4:00. Closed Sundays and holidays.
