How do we talk to children about racism?

But first, how do we understand the context of race in America?

This will be a parent to parent discussion of how to help educate our children about racial contexts of American history as part of the parenting process. We will discuss how questions they (and you) may have about contexts of race and racial histories in America, how we process current incidents and histories of anti-Black violence, and the importance of creating a knowledgeable legacy for them to carry on for justice and change. This will be an open dialogue--questions are welcome!

The conversation will be led by Janaka Bowman Lewis, Ph.D. Lewis is Associate Professor of English and Director of the Women's and Gender Studies Program at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. She is the author of Freedom Narratives of African American Women (McFarland 2017), several book chapters and articles on 19th Century African American women's writing and material culture, and two children's books (Brown All Over and Bold Nia Marie Passes the Test). Her current scholarship is on representations of black girlhood in American literature and film in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
