The 2015 Pew Research report "Multiracial in America: Proud, Diverse and Growing in Numbers" found that 6.9 percent of all Americans 18 years and older identified as multiracial. The University Library at the University of Michigan planned a yearlong exploration into interracial/multiracial issues, beginning with a faculty panel on how multiracialism influences their academic work. Later in the academic year we will show four films, have a student panel, and invite a multiracial performance artist to campus.
The University of Michigan's library program series on multiracial issues kicks off with a panel discussion.
