“The worst conversation adults can have with kids about race is no conversation at all.”
- author Jemar Tisby for “The Atlantic”
Conversations about race and racism can be uncomfortable. We might make mistakes and are unsure where to begin, but not talking about race with children can send many unintended messages.
Explore ways to have conversations with children about race, racism, diversity and inclusion. Co-hosted by the METCO Coordinating Committee and the First Parish in Lincoln, this facilitated conversation will use the NPR Podcast "Talking Race with Young Children" as a backdrop for identifying strategies to start the conversation with kids about racial differences, race, racism and more.
