There are ten things everyone should know about race. How many do you know?

Go to the companion Web site for RACE – The Power of an Illusion and test your race IQ. Launching in conjunction with the broadcast premiere of the television series, this comprehensive and unique Web site invites visitors to confront their own ideas about race and embark on an in-depth investigation of its history and many meanings today.

More than just a recap of the series, the RACE Web site provides a multidisciplinary and interactive learning experience for viewers and non-viewers alike, including students, teachers, activists, and the just plain curious. In addition to a searchable resource database and extensive background materials, the site touts six special "Learn More" activity areas, developed especially for Internet users:

Like the television series, the RACE Web site offers users an emotional and intellectual encounter with a wide range of exciting ideas. Discover the real story of race.
