In America, Race Relations is much before us and little understood. Yet, interactions with other groups impact our lives on a daily basis. This course offers the novice student an exciting journey into a world of concepts and ideas that they have not considered before. We define race academically and practically, then immerse students into the investigation. We have fun looking at the moving pictures of life in America and glimpses around the world.

As investors in our future world, we must take the time to find answers. We will look deeply into what the American Melting Pot cooked up in a multi-racial, multicultural, multi-ethnic society where we don't always get along. Why? We examine social systems and how we maintain them. We acknowledge our personal beliefs and behaviors. We face truths about our desire to "get along."

Our approach is framed by the American Dream as outlined by WE THE PEOPLE noted in the preamble to the U.S. Constitution. This is a first step, learning fundamentals and ends wherever students push the challenge forward to new goals. Perhaps, this will be the beginning of the "Dream" of one nation under one flag for all Americans.

It starts with Understanding Race Relations in America.
