Description
Summary:
In the U.S., race--more than any other demographic factor--determines levels of individual educational achievement, health and life expectancy, possibility of incarceration, and wealth. This film reveals a self-perpetuating system of inequity in which internal factors play out in external structures: institutions, policy and law. Designed for dialogue and learning, Cracking the codes : the system of racial inequity works to disentangle internal beliefs as it builds skills to recognize and address the external drivers of inequity.
