RACE—The Power of an Illusion
Three-Part Documentary
Dear ,
We invite you to join us for this special three-part documentary series that asks a basic question—what is this thing called race?—and probes the biological premise for dividing people into distinct groups. Join us as Rutledge Dennis, professor of sociology and anthropology at George Mason University, facilitates a discussion following each screening.

“The House We Live In,” shows how our social institutions
“make” race by providing different groups vastly different
