The topic of our presentation is the historical production of whiteness and how it has affected race relations in the U.S. The problem that we have observed through our interactions with other people and in the readings we have done for this class, is that people are unaware of how history has led to race relations, more specifically whiteness in the U.S. With this presentation, we wish to educate people on the misconceptions about our history of race relations that institutions have instilled in our society. We hope using the creative medium as our approach to exposing this material will be a rather easy outlet for people to understand complex ideas. Whiteness has caused unequal advantages for certain people and by acknowledging what has led to Whiteness our society will get one step closer to resolving the issue.
