2. Please provide a brief description of the program.
This program reveals how UNC-Chapel Hill brought the Tunnel of Oppression to campus. This program
includes a highlight of the logistics, including collaboration efforts. The program features a PowerPoint
presentation with pictures and audio which paints a picture of what the event was like on campus.
3. Who was the program for? Name your target audience.
The program is for schools who are interested in increasing their educational and at-large programming.
This program may also help schools who already have similar programs on their campus. They could
compare their program with that of UNC-Chapel Hill and look for areas they could improve or do
something differently.
4. How much did the program cost? Who funded it? Please provide a brief budget breakdown.
This information is included in the PowerPoint!
5. How many people were involved in planning the program AND how long did it take to plan?
This information is included in the PowerPoint!
6. Why was the program started on your campus? How does it benefit the university and/or community
population?
The program was initiated by the president of the National Residence Hall Honorary, who brought the idea
to the president of the Residence Hall Association, and together, the two students solicited support from
their advisors, departments, and respective organizations. As a whole, the program seeks to introduce
real-life issues dealing with oppression to students who may not be aware of such social justice
occurrences.
7. What were some pros/cons of the program? How could the program be improved?
This was the first year that a Tunnel of Oppression was coordinated on our campus and the planning team
was thoroughly pleased with the turnout. After six months of planning, we were able to guide 480
students and faculty through the hour and a half long tour. The vast majority of the participants genuinely
appreciated experience and learned about at least one new form of oppression. Having achieved our goal
at large, there are of course some ways the program can be improved for years to come. I.E. start
planning earlier, more collaboration, stronger actors, more stories related to our home-town.
8. How could this program be adapted for other universities?
The different types of oppression which were highlighted in our program tried to relate to UNC-Chapel
Hill as much as possible. For example, we chose to add the Day Laborers section because it is an issue
in North Carolina. The Relationship Violence section included stories that actually occurred on the
campus of UNC-Chapel Hill. Other universities should research the topics which relate to their region,
state, and university in order to make a connection with participants.

INTRO
Participants enter the main front and back doors of Cobb residence hall. They register at
a table to the side and wait for the group to gather. The Tour Guide then brings the group
out the front door onto the Cobb lawn and addresses the group…
Script
Tour Guide: Welcome to the Tunnel of Oppression. My name is _______ and I will be
your guide these evening. A few things before we begin…
This multimedia tour is designed to challenge people‟s thoughts, perceptions and feelings
on issues dealing with oppression and hatred. The experience is not intended to offend
or bring about tension, but to encourage individuals to be aware of the harsh reality of
hateful words, images, and stereotypes and their effects on society. If at any time the
experience becomes too intense for you, please let me know and I will escort you directly
to the processing room. Please remain silent throughout the experience to allow each
participant to take their own journey through the tunnel and don‟t forget to turn all cell
phones off or on silent. I will give you instructions as we go along. If everyone is ready,
let‟s begin…
PRIVILEGE WALK (15 minutes)
Tour Guide: Welcome to the Tunnel of Oppression. We live in a society where some of
us face discrimination while others are privileged. I will divide your tour into two groups.
Half will form a line to my left; the other half will form a line to my right. Please join
hands with the person on either side of you. During the following set of questions and
instructions please try to remain holding hands for as long at possible.

The Tour Guide places labels of GIMP, TOWELHEAD, WETBACK and HOMO onto
random individuals without explanation and invites the group to follow around the side of
Cobb.
CLASS (in passing)
As the tour travels down the hall, they pass by actors posing as homeless folks. One
actor will ask for spare change, while the other will be huddled in a sleeping bag. Along
the walls around the homeless people will be posters etc. with information about class
and homelessness in the U.S.
Supplies:
-Sleeping bag
-Bookbag
-supplies for bookbag
PHYSICAL DISABILITY (~3 minutes)
The Tour Guide guides the group around Cobb to a backdoor, but then once there,
realizes that there are stairs. The Tour Guide then points the participant labeled GIMP to
the door with a ramp, and makes sure the participant goes all the way in. On the wall
there will be a large sign asking “How often do you consider how you will get around
campus?” Additionally, there will be large aerial pictures of all the physical disability
access areas on campus. Perhaps the group will have to wait at the other end of the
hallway. This portion is completely SILENT.
Supplies needed:
-Large Sign
-GIMP label
-Aerial pictures of campus

Actors/Facilitator
4-7 Actors, (2-7 males, 1 female)

Projector
Statistics
Clothing
No special dress
Script
As the tour group enters, two male actors nonverbally “check out” and objectify the tour,
giving them the once over, maybe giving some a wink or another suggestive gesture.
One of the males walks over to a mirror to the side.
Preparation
Participants notice statistics posted concerning body image and eating disorders. The
male actor and a female actor are on two different sides of the room. The male is lifting
weights, in front of a mirror. The floor is littered with magazines like Men‟s Fitness, etc.
The Female is getting dressed in front of a mirror, self-conscious about the fact that her
jeans won‟t button easily, examining herself. Next to her, a projection of a Dove
commercial is playing. They address the audience without noticing each-other all the
time talking towards their mirrors…The participants view this silently.
Script
Male: College is tough. There‟s never enough time, you know what I mean. Don‟t cha
wish there was just one more hour in the day. Sometimes I hardly have time to eat
enough. I come to the SRC all the time but lately it hasn‟t been enough. I‟m there six
days a week but I still can‟t bench what the other guys can, some of them are here seven
days a week. Why am I so puny?
Female:
I told my mom not to worry, I‟d eat well even without her breathing down my neck. I
swore I wouldn‟t gain the freshman fifteen. I thought I was doing alright but my
boyfriend keeps teasing me and now these jeans… It‟s not that I think I‟m fat, but if I
could loose just five more pounds I‟d be beautiful. I know what they say but throwing up
once and awhile really makes me feel better. I gotta get to gym.

indicating that they are of Latino
Officer 2: (to Latino aggressively) We need to see some identification here.
Officer 1:
(exasperated, to Latino/Middle Easterner) Do you have your paperwork? I
need to know if you legal. Habalo ingles?
Officer 2:
(Separates the person with the Latino label from the group.) We need you
to step over here, please.
While Office 2 is looking at the paperwork, Officer 1 reflects:

Recorder
Articles, stats, pictures (provided by LGBTQ)
Clothing
Script
Participants walk into a room which appears to lend towards a passive experience. The
walls are covered in statistics, short stories and pictures concerning hate crimes directed
at people due to their sexual orientation. After the participants view the photos for about
a minute, the two actors in the room approach the participant with the label HOMO
around his neck.
Actor 1: When did you decide to be gay?
Actor 2: You know what people will think right?
Actor 1: Do your parents know?
Actor 2: Do you think your friends are gonna talk to you again?
Actor 1: Leciticus 20:13 “If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have
committed an abomination.”
Actor 2: You‟re an abomination. You‟re going to hell
Actor 1: But it‟s not too late. You can still be healed.
Actor 2: (to someone standing nearby) Why‟re you pretending to be their friend?
Actor 1: Are you gay too?
Actor 2: Fag. You just need a good fuck.
Actor 1: Or a good therapist. I know a pastor…
Actor 2: Fuck “marriage equality”… marriage is for a man and woman…
Actor 1: Do you know what happens to people like you… you die of AIDS.

Actor 2: I don‟t want my kids around you… You FUCKIN‟ HOMO!!
Actor 1: You should get out of here…
Actor 2: Leave.
After this confrontation, the Tour Guide leads the participants out and into the next room.
RELIGIOUS OPPRESSION (5 minutes)
This is a passive experience. Tour Guide allows participants to view the area and
experience the media. The Tour Guide then leaves the group and tells them they will
return to them shortly. The Tour Guide goes into the next room to prepare for the
Genocide section.
Supplies: provided by RELIC (Living Learning Community centered on religion.
GENOCIDE (5 minutes)
4-5 Actors (3-4 Guards and 1 Screamer)
After viewing the photos in the Religious Oppression area, several guards (all wearing all
black) who are waiting outside begin to scream profanities and insults at the group
members (perhaps based on the labels they wear). They do not touch them but force
them to move into the closet across the hall. The tour guide will already be in the room
with access to the black light and tape recording. The door will slam behind the
participants and the guards will pound on the door. This room will be completely dark.
There will be a hissing sound, followed by a tape recording of people coughing as if they
were in a gas chamber. Once the 30 second recording is over, the Tour Guide turns the
black light on so participants can view the images on the walls. The black lights will
reveal dots representing each of 15,000 people who have died in genocide, dated from the
Holocaust on. Countries in which genocides have taken place along with the year they
took place will be listed on a wall, along with a map of all the genocides that have
occurred, and images of current genocides such as Darfur. The Tour Guide gives
participants about 3-4 minutes to view the images on the wall before continuing on to the
next room.
Examples of what guards can say:
 Get in there now!
 We need you to go in that room
 You want to die? Get in the room
 You people digest me
 Scum of the earth
 Faster! We don’t have all day!
Examples of what guards CANNOT say:




Use the word “Fuck” sparingly if at all
Avoid using specific racial/ethnicities/cultures (Jews, Black, Africans, etc) –
Instead make it “you people”
Don‟t target men or women over the other. They are all part of group
RELATIONSHIP VIOLENCE (5 minutes)
Actors/Facilitator
2 Actors
Props
Small lights/flashlights
Clothing
No special dress
Participants walk into a room. They stand in the center. In two corners there is an actor
sitting and a household lamp/flashlight which they can turn on and off. As each actor
speaks they turn their light on and off.
Script
Note: Actors turn on light when they begin to speak and turn off light when they finish.
Actor 1 – Female identified
You know, it‟s funny. I always thought I would find my husband at Carolina. We had
been dating for about 6 months. Sometimes, I actually thought he could be the one.
Actor 2 – Female, Lesbian identified
She was my first serious relationship. Oh my god did I love her. I felt safe for the first
time in my life. At first.
Actor 1
It started as a hookup, you know, just casual. But then we started hanging out more and
more. And it was fun. He was charming … good looking -- really good looking… And a
lot of the time he was really nice – like over the top. He would open doors for me, call me
his pretty baby, sometimes even drop hints about the future. But then out of nowhere, he
would change. And he would get mean. Like really mean. He would insult me with the
cruelest most personal insults. My face was goofy looking. I was a little overweight. I
7
wasn‟t the sharpest knife in the drawer. Or he would just disappear for several days.
Wouldn‟t return my calls, or texts, or emails. I did everything I could to make him happy.
One some level I knew it was wrong. Of course I did. I knew this was not a healthy
relationship. But … I don‟t know …
Actor 2
It was a hell of a four months. Looking back it was too much. But at the time it was my
slice of heaven. We spent every moment together unless we were in class. We basically
lived together. I mean we had separate places, but one of us was always at the others. We
shared everything. And I mean everything. We knew each others secrets, and passwords,
and pin numbers … it was convenient. We could help each other.
At first I was blind to it all. I was just happy to be accepted and loved. And, for the first
time in my life, I could be physical and happy with someone. And I would do whatever
she wanted. Go here, go there. See this movie, that exhibit, this friend. But when the
honeymoon phase was over, I started suggesting things that I wanted to do. She would
just dismiss them. NOT this movie. NOT that friend. I tried being a little stronger and
standing up for myself, but she would just get more controlling. I would rarely see my
other friends or friends from high school. It didn‟t feel right. So I said something. She
dismissed me. Made me feel stupid for bringing it up.
Actor 1
I will never forget that night. At that point, it was the norm: we would get drunk, hook
up, and inevitably start fighting. But this time it got out of control. He put me in a choke
hold. I couldn‟t breathe. I struggled to get free. I really couldn‟t breathe. I started
blacking out. Thank god he decided to let go. I told him he could have fucking killed me!
He literally threw me out of the apartment – hurled me into the breezeway. I was still
naked.
I collapsed and started crying. One of his neighbors must have heard. She came out and
brought me in to her apartment. She was so nice. She gave me clothes -- she didn‟t even
want them back. She didn‟t ask me any questions. She had also called the Police. When
they came, they saw my neck and arrested him. They sent me to the ER. When I went
down to the station the next day, I saw him leaving with his friend as I was coming in. he
just looked at me with this look. “Why the fuck did you do that?” I felt horrible.
The Police asked me what happened. I freaked out. I told them it was all a big
misunderstanding. I was into rough sex I said. I said I liked to be choked. Asked to be
choked. I actually said that …
Why did I say that? I don‟t know … Well, I knew I was going to see him at some point. I
was scared if I told the Police what really happened, he would hurt me. But for real this
time. I also loved him … Sometimes, I actually thought he could be the one.
8
Actor 2
Then my friends actually confronted me about it. A wake up call. So, I suggested to her
that we take a break -- not even see other people, just spend some time apart -- be by
ourselves for a bit. She flew off the handle. Then next time we talked I said I thought we
should break up. Her face just went blank and she left the room.
The next time I went to the ATM, my account was completely cleaned out. I panicked. I
called the bank. They said half the money had been withdrawn two days earlier and the
rest the day before the day before. I was shocked. I emailed her. She responded: “You
hurt me. I thought we loved each other.” She hinted that if I left she would somehow
cancel my registration for spring classes. I changed my passwords, but I was still freaked
out.
I wanted to call the police or my folks but I didn‟t think they would take me seriously.
My Mom did not respond well to me coming out, and my Dad did not even know. And
part of me still loved her. Felt bad for her. And I needed my money back. So I stayed
with her.
Guide: These events have actually occurred here at Carolina.

Preparation
The Tour Guide leads participants into a room as if they are about to view a presentation.
While walking to this room, five actors slyly join the tour group and sit with the rest of
the tour group as if they have been a part of it all along. After about 20 seconds. One of
the actors begins speaking.
Script

API Actor:
***Spotlight on the B paper…as the student finishes the line “ I can‟t believe I got a B on
this paper…” spotlight gets bigger and focuses on the entire person***
(Looking at her/his paper, very disappointed)
I can‟t believe I got a B on this paper…my parents are gonna be so disappointed at me; I
can‟t afford to get another B on anything or else I will disappoint my family…I HATE IT
when my family compares me to my cousins or to our neighbor‟s kids… So and so is
majoring in this and so and so just got into medical school…
I have so much pressure to do well academically that sometimes I just wanna say FUCK
IT and give up….It‟s such an internal struggle and I know I just can‟t say FUCK IT
because my family is relying on me…I have so many family members that back in my
homeland who are counting on me to become successful so that I can‟t help them out….I
wish I didn‟t have to worry about my academics so much and I wish that my family
wouldn‟t put this much pressure on me…
Sometimes I feel like leaving this place to escape all the GODAM pressure…I wish I can
assimilate and be more like my American friends and just live my life for me and not
have to worry about all this SHIT….I wish that I can say what is on my mind and
experience my feelings but I can‟t, my culture won‟t allow me to do so….sometimes I
wish I wasn‟t me.
Because of trying to live up to the model minority status, did you know that API females
consistently have the highest suicide rate of females between the ages of 15-24? How
about the fact that 30% of API girls in grade 5 through 12 reported depressive symptoms
as compared to Non-Hispanic White (22%), African American (17%) or Hispanic (27%).
African/Black American Actor: (should I leave Katrina or discuss Haiti)
Hurricane Katrina: Why am I the only one looting? Why couldn‟t I just be looking for
food and supplies for my family; why wasn‟t any race questioned about what they
needed? Did/Do you ever think that if Katrina was in Florida, would we have received a
response quicker than 5 days?
YO, YO, YO… When you see me, why do you always assume that I‟m from the hood…
I‟m not saying there‟s anything wrong with individuals from the hood because that‟s their
experience but don‟t make any assumptions based on what you see on the media… BET
doesn‟t represent the ENTIRE Black/African American community…
Basketball and football are not my only talent within the athletic field nor is it my only
talent… I write, I‟m in science, I‟m in literature, I‟m in engineering… An African
American male by the name of (insert name here) was the first to perform and to succeed
in administering open heart surgery…
10
Brown vs. the Board of Education – separate but equal… do you remember that?? Well
now in the 21st century, we as a Black community want to do well but how can we do so
when our educational resources are not up to par with other communities such as the
suburbs or urban areas… The No Child Left Behind Act DOES NOT represent/support
me… How can I have the same access if I DO NOT have the same resources and
qualified teachers to equip me with the tools that I need prior to entering Higher
Education… How can we succeed when the system fails us…
AND NO, YOU CANNOT USE THE WORD NIGGA/NIGGER…
Latino/Hispano Actor:
Where am I from? Does it matter? So many people lump us all together as “Mexicans”.
But we are different. Yes we are Mexican. But we are also from Guatemala, El Salvador,
Cuba, Colombia, Spain, and even … America. Yes. That‟s right. And each of these
places has its own culture, its own history, its own dialect. And so many Latinos are born
in California, Texas, New York City… all over the country. Most people aren‟t aware of
this, but Latinos are the largest minority in America, over 15% of the population. North
Carolina actually has one of the fastest rising Latino populations in America, although
you may not see this because most of them are working for almost nothing on farms in
Eastern North Carolina, both illegally and legally.
And that‟s another thing: not all of us are illegal immigrants. My grandparents came here
from Colombia, and both of my parents are American citizens. I was raised speaking both
Spanish and English, so pardon my lack of accent. I love my culture- the food, the music,
the history- but I‟m also an American, and proud of that.
But just because I was raised in America doesn‟t mean I‟m unaware of the struggles of
many Latinos in the US. I completely understand why someone would need to come here
illegally. Getting a green card or citizenship isn‟t as easy as sending in an application- the
process can take years, sometimes even decades. It‟s also expensive, and the vast
majority of immigrants just don‟t have that kind of money. So they come here. Not to
stay forever, most of them are hoping to go back to their countries and their families
some day, but to make enough money in the states to secure a good life for their children
and parents, even if that means doing the dirty work that Americans don‟t want to do.
I guess this is what gets me: this is a country made of immigrants. First colonists, then the
Germans, the Irish, Italians, Africans, Asians, whatever. They didn‟t have green cards.
They came here for work, and by and large, they got it. They got the opportunity to make
a better life for themselves and their families. That‟s the American dream, right? To come
here with nothing and work hard and get something. Everyone else got that opportunity,
and that‟s all that we‟re asking for.
11
Multi-Racial Actor:
I refuse to choose. That‟s right: I just flat out refuse. Let me give you a glimpse into my
world… I‟m half black and half white. So everyone wants me to be one or the other. But
I‟m not. That‟s not me.
WRONG my parents said. Way back when, they made the choice for me. You‟re
BLACK, Andrea Marie, don‟t you know the one drop rule? You are Black just like your
sister and your brothers. But Mom, Dad: you both know that‟s not true …
So growing up I always felt confused … withdrawn. It took me like 15 years to admit –
no to accept – that I am not Black. But now, when I tell people that I‟m not Black, they‟re
like, “Oh okay, whatever you say.” And then when I INSIST that I am not Black, then
they say, well then you must be white. (Beat) Oh, hell no! Am I that light? Naw, naw,
there‟s gotta be something else…
Sometimes it feels like a knife is slicing my heart into two halves. And like that Solomon
story I have to choose only one half of my heart. Can you imagine? Having to choose one
half of your heart? One half of your soul? … So please try to understand: a new race is
emerging – but not from a foreign land. We are not Black. We are not White. We are
“Mixed.” Or “Bi-racial.” Or “Multiracial.”
It‟s obviously such a big deal because of all that happened in the past … between Blacks
and whites … So why can‟t we represent the harmony – the beautiful harmony – between
Blacks and Whites. I guess that‟s too idealistic, huh? (Beat) You know what? I just gotta
let all my insecurities go and remember to just breathe. Remember to just be … Me.
But in the meantime: I will fight for our right to refuse to choose.
“HAPPY HALLWAY”
Place to write things, white paper, reflections, what’s still going on, what’s changed.
The Tour Guide then leads all of the participants to the processing room and heads back
to the main lobby.
