5. Dear White People

Dear White People is a perfect movie to present to someone who may have the idea that racism in the United States is over. The movie explores many subtleties about racism and how children experience race, particularly on a college campus.

6. The Central Park Five

The Central Park Five documentary by Ken Burns reviews the events of the 1989 Central Park jogger case, in which five Harlem Black and Latinx teens were wrongly convicted of raping a white woman in New York City’s Central Park.
