“Many white parents have never learned how to talk about race and racism with their kids. Their silence perpetuates racism—but it can be hard to know how to start. This hour-long program is about talking to white kids about race and racism: how white parents, families, and teachers can learn to show up for racial justice in a way that will make a difference for generations to come. The show explores a wide variety of approaches with kids of all ages.”
A gem about colorblindness and parental influence from White parents: “ In a study of 100 White families with White kids whose White parents taught color-blindedness. When asked do your parents like Black people 38% said, ‘I don’t know.’ 14% said, ‘Nope.’”
