Missouri History Museum

In January 2010, the Missouri History Museum welcomes the special Exhibition RACE: Are We So Different?  Organized by the Science Museum of Minnesota, the exhibition explores the science of human variation, the history of the idea of race and the contemporary experience of race and racism in the United States.  In preparation for the exhibition, the Missouri History Museum, in conjunction with the St. Louis Beacon and KETC/Channel 9, will present a monthly series of programs addressing issues related to race in the region and nation-wide.  While the programs will vary in format, each one promises to be thought provoking.

For our first program, join us for an evening of thought-provoking theatre exploring assumptions and identity. Performed by the museum's Teens Make History actors, these vignettes address an array of topics, including a recent St. Louis Post-Dispatch article illustrated with an interracial couple kissing.  Enjoy a DJ spinning in th background while your conversations are sparked by the scenes.
