N Word

Divided We Stand

The N Word features commentary from some of today´s A-list celebrities, journalists, historians and every day people commenting on their personal history with and society´s use of the "N" word.

Easily the most inflammatory, shocking and historic word in the English language, the N word has smoldered in the American psyche for over a century. It has morphed from a source of hate, degradation and embarrassment to a term of endearment used amongst the many races of young people. But is that OK? Surf the web or eavesdrop in the lunchroom and you will find the N word is alive. Has overuse removed its horrific origins; has it lost all power to insult and enrage? Given the word´s continually shifting use, The N Word is a brave and bold confrontation of the taboo, exploring the history and relevance of the word and the social status within and between races. The N Word ignites the conversation. Let´s talk about it!
