How to Talk to Your Kids about Race and Racism

10:30 a.m.-12 p.m.

Long-standing injustices against Black Americans, as well as recent protests, are sparking important questions from children. While these conversations may be difficult, fostering open and honest dialogue about race and anti-racism is critical to dismantling bigotry in our communities.
