Option 1: REPRESENTATION OF RACE IN LITERATURE, ART, AND MEDIA Examine key areas of popular culture. What patterns do you notice? Provide a historic and current perspective to identify the prevalence of racist practices in areas such as:

Children's literature-Examine the statistics around books published about characters of color that are written by people of color. Then consider the classic texts that are often core books in English classes. Whose lives are centered? Whose are marginalized or silenced? And why does it matter who tells the story?

The Academy Awards-Look across the history of the Academy Award winners for Best Actress/Best Actor. How do actors of color fare in comparison to their White counterparts? In what ways does the #OscarssoWhite social media campaign illuminate racist practices?

Grammy Awards-Look at the Record of the Year and Album of the Year categories for the past number of years. Who are the winners in these categories? In what ways can you identify racist practices?

Primetime television shows-Identify the television show lineups for the major broadcast networks (NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX). What stories are told? Note the racial diversity of characters. Are the storylines for characters of color representative of full and complex lives?
