What about RACE?  

Race plays a huge, and sometimes unseen, part in our lives. The Understanding RACE Project is engaging three overlapping audiences in an exploration of race, using the upcoming tour of RACE: Are We So Different?, a dynamic exhibition coming to the University of Michigan Museum of Natural History from February 9 through May 27, 2013.

The exhibition explores the impact of race as an economic, political and cultural construct and dispels the myth of race as a biologically determined phenomenon.   We are hoping the exhibit will serve as a catalyst for community building and healing around race.
