Thanks to everyone who responded about locating the particular "Power of an Illusion" segment on DNA. Our library has this series in VHS, and I haven't seen them yet because I've been using "Understanding Race" coupled with a relatively short PrimeTime Live segment called "True Colors" about the experiences of two men in a Missouri town as they try to find housing, shop, get help with their cars, find jobs and buy cars. I try to make the point that although race is merely a social construct, in which we assign meaning to what we perceive to be physical differences between us, social constructs are powerful. I think the DNA segment of the "Illusion" video might be more compelling, from what y'all have said.
