Project Summary: Need it TODAY Drawing from your personal experiences, write an essay about the paradox of race, that is, that race has no biological basis and yet is socially meaningful. How have you experienced race in your life? How were your schools, neighborhood, community, town/city or nation racially configured? Were racial categories consciously important to you as you grew up (or today), or were they something you took (or take) for granted? Why? Do you think race matters today? Why/why not? Please write a 2 page response (double spaced, 12 point font) to any or all of these questions
