race: are we so different?

The UNI Museum is currently hosting the exhibit "RACE:  Are We So Different?" until June 9.  I encourage everyone who lives locally to spend an hour there before the exhibit leaves and  the museum closes its doors (June 30...due to budget cuts...waaaa)

 There are several informative timelines, videos, and a whole host of information that helps a person consider the biology and history of race, and the social-economic-political dynamics that have played out in light of racial classification.

One large display has pictures of a variety of people with the question, "What are you?" posted on the wall.
In small print at the bottom of the picture, there is a list of what makes up that person's ethnic mix, and then the white space allows the person to define "what they are."  I read through several, and then came across this young girl who summed it up simply and profoundly, as only a child could.  "I am a person."
