The Poetry Of DNA
About this video
Prince Ea shares his personal DNA test results to challenge conventional notions of race. He argues that while racism is undeniably real and manifests in housing, prisons, healthcare, and education, race itself is a social construct and learned categorization. Prince Ea encourages viewers to see beyond racial boxes and recognize humanity as one interconnected family tree.
