The 5-part Close the Gap documentary series on race, class,
and place disparities was created by the Twin Cities Public television
(tpt) in close partnership with the Itasca Project and Twin
Cities Compass & Wilder Research. The University of Minnesota Human Rights
Center designed two companion guides to foster dialogue on ways to recognize
and eliminate these race, class, and place disparities in our schools and
communities.
The Educator Guide provides curriculum resources for engaging youth
in grades 8-12. The Community Guide offers key discussion activities
for Human Rights Commissioners, community leaders, and other interested
individuals to better understand these disparities and their causes, as well
as to work to overcome them.
We hope that these guides will encourage students, educators and community members to learn about race, class, and place disparities and take action to bridge the gap.
