At America's oldest Mardi Gras - celebrated each year in Mobile, Alabama - events remain segregated between white and black residents. "The Order of Myths" looks beneath the surface of pageantry and reveals a complex story about race relations and the ever-present racial divide that persists in America. By Margaret Brown. A short, "Bi-Racial Hair," a satirical look at the racial tension young African Americans of mixed ethnic backgrounds experience, follows. Illustrating the struggles of mixed-color youth with identity and social position, 13-year-old poet Zora's resolution about proposing a "new race" sheds light on the complexity and depth of the racist wounds the nation still faces. The young poet performs live in front of 1,500 of her peers and adult allies at the Urban Word NYC Teen Poetry Slam.
