1) Lehrman, Sally. "The Reality of Race." __UWM.org__. PantherFile., 13 Jan. 2003. Web. 1 Nov. 2009. <[]>. This is from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. It is copyrighted by Xythos Software and the specific article is by Sally Lehrman. The article is about how there is not much of a difference in the DNA of human races, but still, we cannot ignore it. The article was useful because it relates to race and DNA, and my wiki is about race and DNA. The article might have a bias toward the views of race of the college University of Wisconsin Milwaukee. Sally Lehrman is an award winning medical and science reporter who has written for Scientific American, Nature, Health, The Boston Globe, and Salon.com. She has contributed to the DNA Files from the start. This shows that she specializes in DNA, so this could be why she wrote the article on race and DNA. She teaches science, medical, and feature writing in university and private settings. a. "About the DNA Files: Sally Lehrman." About Sally Lehrman. SoundVision Productions. Web. 8 Nov. 2009. <[]>. Since the website is from a college, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, it could have a bias toward the college. Since the college supports the idea of diversity, as shown in the link below, the auther might have encouraged it in the article. b. "UW-Milwaukee: Diversity @ UWM & in Milwaukee." //UW-Milwaukee: Something Great in Mind//. University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee. Web. 11 Nov. 2009. <[].> This page was just used to show how the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee might have a bias toward diversity. 2) Mertens, Maggie. "Racial Minorities Face More Swine Flu Struggles." __NPR.org__ . PBS, 10 Nov. 2009. Web. 10 Nov. 2009. [] . I used this article from NPR.org to answer my question - Do racial minorities face higher chances of getting diseases? Maggie Mertens is a journalist in Washington, D.C. Currently, she is an intern on the Science Desk for NPR, and she is building her digital media skills. She has degrees in English and Italian Studies from Smith College in Massachusetts. She probably wrote the article I used because she is an intern at NPR. 3) Mimouna, Mary. "Reflections of a Two-Day Expat in the Middle East." Web log post. __Problems in Africa Caused by Race (DNA) or Culture?__ WordPress. Web. 9 Nov. 2009. <[]>. The picture at the start of the wiki is from this blog. The picture shows how race is not necessarily determined by skin color.

Also used - 4) "CPR: Bio | Kelley Weiss." //Capital Public Radio//. Capital Public Radio. Web. 12 Nov. 2009. []. I used this website as a link for "Kelley Weiss." Kelley covers health issues around California and at the state Capitol. She is frequently featured on National Public Radio. She has reported policy and access issues, mental health, and has reported how culture and health intersect. This website provides a brief overview of Kelley and shows other articles by her for people who are interested.

Smedley race article - This article says that race originated in America for many reasons, most of which are associated with slavery and servitude. The article also says that race is a folk idea; it was a social invention, not an invention by science. Audrey Smedley wrote this article at some point between March 14 and 17, 2007 in Warrenton, Virginia. At the beginning of the article, there is a note that says the article shows the views of Audrey Smedley, not the views of the AAA race project. The AAA race project might have influenced Audrey Smedley. Audrey Smedley is a Professor of Anthropology Emerita and Virginia Commonswealth University. The perspective of the article is showing that race originated in America, which is not necessarily true. This article mainly focuses on race in America. The article does have a bias; it shows how slavery is not something that should be supported. Audrey Smedley has been writing about race for about 30 years.
