Brevity focuses the mind. That's the idea behind a national project now at the University of Michigan, as Kim Kozlowski describes in The Detroit News.
Students and others are challenged to tell what race, ethnicity and identity means to them in six words.
When Crissy Zamarron, 22, thought about six words to describe what race and ethnicity means to her, she said: "I am Mexican. Watch me dance." . . .
Known as "The Race Card Project," it has begun a provocative conversation among more than 20,000 people across the nation. U-M is the first university to participate.
The project kicked off at U-M with students passing out postcards to encourage others on campus to participate.
