My Multicultural Self Class Discussion Pair & Share: How would you feel if someone ignored one of your multicultural identity bubbles? Can you see how ignoring one of your identity bubbles could cause miscommunication? Think of examples. How is identifying with these groups influencing my current thoughts and goals around college and career?

“We Wear the Mask” Class Discussion Paul Laurence Dunbar was an African American poet who was born in 1872. He was the son of slaves. Whom do you think he might have been writing about in this poem? Why might these people be wearing a mask? Why did Dunbar call this poem “We Wear the Mask”? How do Dunbar’s words capture the universal experience of all people who have used their facial features to hide their true feelings?
