OF MANY COLORS: Portraits of Multiracial Families

OF MANY COLORS includes photographs and interviews with 20 families (children, teens, and adults) who have bridged the racial divide through interracial relationships and/or adoption. In a world where race is considered by many to be a formidable barrier between people, the families in this traveling exhibit have discovered richness and value in diversity. This exhibit of multiracial families has a great deal to teach about racial identity and racism.

Mixed Messages.4 and Of Many Colors are on view through July 1st.
