Questions:
1. In what ways can modern day citizens of all colors and ethnicities use Piper's Funk Lessons to bridge racial gaps still prevelant in our culture today?
2. How do members of society act in terms of responding to Piper's project (and those like it) that either advance or hinder her mission to enhance inter-racial communication?
