Article Abstract
This study sought to determine changes in 121 White counseling students following their participation in an experiential, race-based course taught in a group format. Pre- and post outcomes were reported based on instruments that measured White racial identity development, White privilege, color blindness, and the costs of racism. Findings indicated significant changes according to the majority of measures, although with certain distinctions. Findings are discussed in light of the current literature.
