They talks about being aware of some of the racial and ethnic problems being represented in the exhibition, although they think those problems are less prominent in the UK, mainly just because there are fewer black people there than in the US, and thus there is less opportunity for racial issues to come to the surface. Blumenthal talks about how Chicago has tried to improve the diversity of its police force.

22:55Copy video clip URL The woman says she has lived in both New York and Chicago and is moving back to Brazil soon. She talks about living in Oak Park, which she feels is better integrated than a lot of Chicago suburbs, as well as positive experiences she had while attending the University of Wisconsin in Madison. She speaks positively about the exhibition, and hopes that it can travel to New York, where she feels the conflict between the black and Jewish communities is particularly prominent. “New York needs to see there are blacks and Jews trying to work together.”
