After watching Race: The Power of an Illusion (Episode 3)^^^, please answer the following questions:

• What specific topic in the film surprised you or challenged a belief/perception that you previously held? Provide a brief description of the part of the film and clearly explain how it affected your understanding of race and/or ethnicity in the United States.
• The film argues that we cannot understand today’s racial inequality in the US without understanding the past because past racist policies and practices continue to influence the present moment. What example or examples in the film best illustrate this? How so? What connections can you make between what this film describes and the current protests/movement around justice for Black lives?

After listening to the podcast^^^, please answer the following questions:

1) In your own words, what are the differences between sex and gender?
