The Race Experience kiosk offers a truly unique experiment in diversity. The kiosk provides a personal, one-of-a-kind race morphing experience. You can see yourself in a different skin and change your race to Black, White, Asian, Hispanic, Middle Eastern and Indian. This is a museum quality interactive exhibit that encourages discussions about race and our deep-rooted beliefs, misconceptions and biases. Presented by Connecting to the Grove (CTG).
