The Race Book is an original and daring publication of unedited thoughts, viewpoints, and opinions about race from students, faculty, and staff at Emerson College. The book also includes learning statements from students who participated in the Campus Conversations on Race: A Talk Worth Having (CCOR) program hosted by the Center for Diversity in the Communications Industries (CDCI). The Race Book is supported by CCOR-AC, a student organization that confronts race as a social construct.
This initiative, the first of its kind on a college campus, was conceived and organized by Emerson’s student organization, Campus Conversations on Race Action Committee (CCOR AC). CCOR AC was an outgrowth of the CCOR initiative.
The Race Book serves as a vital document of a college community’s exchange on America’s most challenging issue: race.
