THE PORTRAITS
ROLL CALL was inspired by Kristin's 2003 project HALF, which included portraits and interviews of biracial and bicultural Americans. HALF was nominated for a USA Today Outstanding Academic and Intellectual Endeavor Award.
Conversations about identity are complicated and the numbers are staggering. Multiracial is the second-fastest growing ethnic group in America and nearly half of all mixed-race Americans are under 18. While our students are becoming more diverse, representation of teachers of color continues to hover around 20%.
That's where the portraits come in. These are the teachers and students in our classrooms. These are their faces. These are their experiences living these numbers.
These portraits are the numbers made human.
Join us. Meet the teachers and students who have joined the roll call. See their faces. Engage with their ideas on Instagram and Facebook.
All portraits are by Kristin Leong.
