Mixed Race Radio~ May 2, 2012~ Author Marcia Dawkins Discusses Racial Passing
Bio: Marcia is an award-winning writer, speaker, educator and visiting scholar at Brown University. She is the author of Clearly Invisible: Racial Passing and the Color of Cultural Identity (Baylor UP, 2012) and Eminem: The Real Slim Shady (Praeger, 2013).
Marcia writes about racial passing, mixed race identities, media, religion, pop culture and politics for a variety of high-profile publications. Her expert opinion has been sought out by NPR, WABC-TV Boston, The New York Times and TIME Magazine. She earned her PhD in communication from USC Annenberg, her master’s degrees in humanities from USC and NYU and her bachelor’s degrees in communication arts and honors from Villanova.
Clearly Invisible (Baylor University Press, 2012), is the first to connect racial passing and classical rhetoric to issues of disability, gender-neutral parenting, human trafficking, hacktivism, identity theft, racial privacy, media typecasting and violent extremism.
By applying fresh eyes to landmark historical cases and benchmark popular culture moments in the history of passing Dawkins also rethinks the representational character and civic purpose of multiracial identities. In the process she provides powerful insights called “passwords” that help readers tackle the tough questions of who we are and how we can relate to one another and the world.

Open Door Alliance Church is Hosting CULTURE FEST 2012
Open Door Alliance Church is Hosting CULTURE FEST2012
Please join members of the Camden County Human Relations Commission and the Voorhees Cultural and Diversity Committee at CULTURE FEST 2012!
This year’s theme: The People of the World and God’s Work Among the People of the World.
Open Door Alliance Church, located at 904 Cooper Road, Voorhees, NJ has created CULTURE FEST to: Help us see cultural diversity as a Gift from God that enriches us all as we seek to understand, value, and love one another in Jesus’ Name.
This celebration will be held on Sunday April 29, 2012 at 11:00am
The Objectives of this year’s CULTURE FEST 2012 is to:
1. To provide a venue for people to share their cultural gifts with others~ ( A Show and Tell for people of all nations.)
2. To inspire conversation about cultural perspectives and how they affect the way we understand and live out our faith in Christ.
3. To help us begin to see differences (as in different perspectives on or approaches to the issues of our day) as gifts from God. (1 Corinthians 12)
4. To help us to seek to inquire of others more than to inform them, to seek to understand others more than we seek to be understood by them. (James 1:19)
5. To help us see that the harmony of different cultural perspectives in an atmosphere of mutual love and respect through Jesus Christ is central to living the Gospel. (See John 13:34-35; John 17:22-23; Acts 17:26; Romans 14:1-23; Revelation 7:9)
6. To help us see the work of God among all people in the world, and to appreciate the way Jesus redeems all cultures rather than choosing one culture over others. (Acts 17:26; Revelation 7:9)
What You Can Expect:
1. Worship Service: Holding a worship service featuring a missionary speaker, and if possible, examples of how different cultures express worship to God. We will also introduce missionaries serving God locally and abroad.
2. Culture Fest: Following the service with a “Culture Fest” for sharing and celebrating our many cultural gifts. Ways of sharing include:
- Cultural Displays: Representing “the people of the world” will be set up throughout the room featuring various nations, foods, costume, art, music, dance, stories, etc.
- Mission Displays: Reaturing “God’s work among the people of the world” will also be set up by those involved in ministry and community service locally and throughout the world.
- Activities: Children can be given “passports” and encouraged to visit the displays having their “Passports” stamped at each one. As we have people willing to share music or dance or other arts, we will hold a time for showcasing these gifts and talents for everyone.
For More Information, feel free to contact Open Door Alliance Church at: (856) 424-3556

Mixed Race Radio~ April 11, 2012 The Other Side of Bullying
Today we discuss the “Other Side” of Bullying….What if Your Child is the Bully? On today’s episode of Mixed Race Radio we will discuss the “other side” of Bullying and what it means when your child is the bully. With bullying cases involving youth suicides at the forefront of the news, parents have good reason to be concerned about their children being involved in bullying incidents. But most caring, responsible parents never imagine their own children will play the role of a bully
How can you tell if your child is a bully?

Mixed Race Radio~ April 4, 2012~ Biracial Bullying
On today’s episode of Mixed Race Radio we will be joined by Carole O’Brien, manager and trainer with Prevent Child Abuse NJ, as we discuss Biracial Bullying and those instances when children are being bullied due to the color of their skin, the texture of their hair, the color of their eyes or the accent heard when they speak.
Using an article that highlights a bullying incident that occurred recently in a Carbondale, PA school, we will be discussing what bullying is and whether race has anything to do with it. Joining me today is Carole O’Brien, a manager and trainer with Prevent Child Abuse NJ.
So we want to hear from you if you are a: 1) school principal or administrator who can provide insight on the policy and procedures that exist to protect children 2) policy maker who is looking to obtain real life/real time situations that affect everyone 3) teacher who is affected by the bullying that takes place in the classroom and feel powerless to stop it or empowered to do something about it 4) guidance counselor or social worker who can inform the audience about services that exist inside and outside of the classroom that can empower and educate parents, caregivers or family members 5) community activist who has an opinion or is taking action on this subject.

Mixed Race Radio~ March 28, 2012~ Key & Peele and Affirmative Action
On today’s episode of Mixed Race Radio we will discuss the new Comedy Central sketch television series, Key & Peele which touts itself as a Biracial Comedy show.
Also, we will discuss the fact that the Supreme Court has agreed to hear Fisher v. Texas, a major case involving affirmative action in higher education. The decision in this case could end racial preferences in admissions — moving up the timetable from the justices’ 2003 ruling in Grutter v. Bollinger, which said, “The court expects that 25 years from now, the use of racial preferences will no longer be necessary.”
Is it time for colleges and universities to move past race? How can we tell when race-based preferences are no longer necessary?
