1. What is a Shirley Card? Why do you think Shirley cards were calibrated for lighter skin?
A calibration card used to calibrate cameras. Due to Caucasians being the majority of people who buy cameras. 2. When did Kodak begin modifying it's film emulsion stocks? What caused this change? 1995 due to the massive outcry due to the old film being not suitable for non-Caucasians. 3. Think of an example in which darkness is villanized (Sleeping Beauty: the witch is blueish and wearing all black and lives in darkness. The princess is light-skinned and light-haired), describe it. This pattern is old, do you think that this pattern will change in American culture? Why or why not? Legend of Zelda, because the main villain is one of the few african americans in the series. I believe it won't change due to how long it's been around and how it instantly mean racism. 1. Find a photo (or multiple photos) that represent how you are feeling after the race talks. 2. How did the race talks go for you? How do you think it went for other people? The race talks went great for me and my peers in the classroom I was in. We talked about some issues and some personal experiences. The class was very warm and welcoming. 3. What do you think our community (the school, teachers, students) do to improve race issues at Grant? Maybe piece together a custom class of students for this so there is more variety then this time was due to my class being mostly white. |
