Who is TRAYVON MARTIN?
As we begin our discussion on race and ethnicity, we must remember that each one of
us has different life experiences, different values, and different viewpoints. Our
demographics as a school and community, while positive and constructive, limit our full understanding of what it means to be of a
different race—or even of a different ethnicity. Only through sociological imagination will we
be able to maximize our study.
