 Eugenics, Genetics and the American 
 Dream"\n\nhttp://adangerousideafilm.com/\n\nA dangerous idea has threatened 
 the American Dream from the beginning – the belief that some groups and 
 individuals are inherently superior to others and more deserving of 
 fundamental rights. Such biological determinism provided an excuse for some 
 of America’s most shameful history. And now it’s back.\n\nThe 
 documentary A DANGEROUS IDEA reveals how biologically determined politics 
 has disenfranchised women and people of color, provided a rationale for 
 state sanctioned crimes committed against America’s most vulnerable 
 citizens, and now gains new traction under the Trump 
 administration.\n\nFeaturing interviews with social thinkers such as Van 
 Jones and Robert Reich, as well as prominent scientists, A DANGEROUS IDEA 
 is a radical reassessment of the meaning, use and misuse of gene science. 
 Like no other film before it, this documentary brings to light how false 
 scientific claims have rolled back long fought for gains in equality, and 
 how powerful interests are poised once again to use the gene myth to 
 unravel the American Dream.\n\n______________\n\n\nABOUT: Diversity, 
 Equity, Accessibility, Inclusion at the Asian Art Museum of San 
 Francisco\n\nThe Asian Art Museum's DEAI Taskforce was created in 2017.  
 The DEAI Taskforce works to ensure that Diversity, Equity, Access, and 
 Inclusion (DEAI) are foundational to all museum work, processes, and 
 programs.\n\nThe Asian Art Museum of San Francisco’s DEAI mission is to 
 inspire new ways of thinking by connecting diverse communities to 
 historical and contemporary Asian art and culture \nthrough our world-class 
 collection, exhibitions and programs. We present exhibitions and event 
 programs that inspire both staff and visitors to think in new and different 
 ways.\n\nhttps://about.asianart.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/12/Racial-Equity-Action-Plan-v2-.pdf\n_____________________________________________________________\n\n
