The Lamanites - Multimedia Project (Christianity and Culture)

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has endorsed a plethora of children's religious/material objects, which, I feel can result in racial discrimination against ethnic minorities based on their depiction of dark-skinned Lamanites.  For my final project for the Christianity and Culture course I have developed a short 10 minute video, using children's objects that are sold at LDS bookstores to show that these images can have either a negative or positive connotation depending on their use.

The title of my presentation is:

The Lamanites: The Mormon Depiction and Interpretation of the Dark Skinned Lamanites in Children's Objects.
