An American Love Story
This study guide compliments the documentary, An American Love Story,
a film that follows the everyday experiences of an interracial family
who tries to figure out a way to overcome instances of racism.
The study guide is designed to deepen
and expand discussions of race, family, membership, and identity in
college and high school history, sociology, psychology, and literature
classes.
This guide seeks to promote student-teacher discussion around questions such as:
- What is the meaning of the word race?
- What is the meaning of the word racism?
- What shapes our identity?
- How does the era in which we live shape our identity?
