Like snow on the first day of spring, the students of went searching for 'whiteness' on Connecticut Avenue. Their task was simple photograph one person, place, and thing that captures your idea of 'whiteness'. Although I was purposefully vague about what I meant by these instructions, it is clear that any exploration of 'whiteness' cannot be easily separated from our ideas race. Here is a sample of what they wrote and witnessed:
The Bike- this is a strange bike with a huge basket attached to it mostly every day I see white people riding their bikes to work, and everywhere else.
The Store- Ms. Tatyana is posing in front of an unusual store with random stuff in it.
The Cross Walk- there are 4 "whities" are crossing the street.
