The Categories of Black & White

Nov, 2021

The Categories Black and White, available for viewing at KET.org, is a film that hopes to offer a language through which the creation of unequal racial groups in the United States may be both mourned and understood. The film was created as part of the Mourning the Creation of Racial Categories project (MCRC), which uses the creative and performing arts to reveal the United States’ history of division on the basis of race.
