SWS English teacher Abby Erdmann first created Race Reels in 2011, with the goal of educating the high school community on issues concerning race, and opening up a discussion. Erdmann, who will retire after this year, hosted her final Race Reels night on Wednesday, showing the film “Model Minority” with a subsequent audience discussion with the director of the film.
