Rageh Omaar to 'explode race myth' in C4 series
CHANNEL 4 is to give a platform to people with controversial views linking race to intelligence in a series of programmes busting "science's last taboo".
The broadcaster said its season will strongly challenge such opinions and "explode" the myth that science can support ideas of racial superiority.
Promoting the season, Channel 4 has altered photos of well-known figures such as Baroness Thatcher, the Beatles and US president Barack Obama to change their racial appearances.
In the first programme of Race: Science's Last Taboo, Rageh Omaar talks to academics who believe aspects of the human brain are linked to race, and to scientists with radically different views. Oona King, Channel 4's head of diversity, said the programme shows "that you cannot link race to IQ".
Channel 4's Race: Science's Last Taboo season of documentaries begins on 26 October.
