Rhonda McGee – Racial Healing
Magee calls race “a remarkable persistent imaginary idea” that has been used to help “build a sense of ‘natural’ hierarchy in our societies.” Thoughts and feelings are not hardwired; our brains create them. Racism “reduces each of us into categories” and plays into the innate tension between the tendency to “categorize and rank-order human beings” and the countervailing tendency to “minimize differences and seek equality and fair treatment across humanity.” (Hudson)

PJ7: Protest for change can come in many forms, but it is often HOW you take action that can (at times) even speak louder than words.

Please look at the "green pepper garden" illustration under the "protest images and symbols" category above for inspiration.
