A Racial Conversation led by the Racial and Ethnic Justice (REJ) team, using the BODY WORLDS RX exhibition at Da Vinci Science Center as a portal for discussion of what makes us human.

BODY WORLDS RX features over 30 human specimens ranging from organs to skeletal structures preserved through Plastination. What isn’t on display are cultural, socio-economic, or racial backgrounds, which provides an ideal starting point for a guided discussion on the role of race in our society.

The REJ team will facilitate this community-based racial conversation to provide attendees the opportunity to voice their opinions, explore and express their feelings towards the culture of the Lehigh Valley, receive education, and feel empowered to make a difference.

Space is limited.  Registration is required in advance.

Schedule of Events:

4:30-5:30 p.m.   Explore BODY WORLDS RX

5:30-8:30 p.m.   Racial Conversation

*Light refreshments will be served
