BURLINGTON, Vt. -
Race is now front and center at ECHO in Burlington.
A new exhibit called "Race: Are We So Different?" just opened. It's part of a national traveling program.
Museum staff say they are proud to host the exhibit at a time when race is important to people in the community.
"The exhibit we hope to convene conversations about race in the community that really helps people start to learn how to talk about it," says Molly Loomis, ECHO Director of Education.
Staff say the exhibit tackles race from biology to history to real lives.
You can check it out at ECHO from now until January.
