In response to the need for innovative and meaningful "diversity training," a special session has been tailored to address issues associated with race and culture. Painting, sculpture, and photography will be used as tools to challenge assumptions, preconceived biases, and related ethical issues. The interactive session will be led by Amy Herman, who developed the approach, and Dr. Jerry James, who will facilitate a discussion of its value to school communities.
