Summary

"Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Boy is an accessible book for children to learn about systemic racism and racist behavior. For the awkward questions white and non-black parents dont know how to answer, this book is an essential guide to help support communication on how to dismantle racism in our youngest generation. Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Boy creates a safe, judgment-free space for curious children to ask questions theyve long been afraid to verbalize. How can I have white privilege if Im not wealthy? Why do Black people protest against the police? If Black people can say the N-word, why cant I? And many, many more. Young people have the power to effect sweeping change, and the key to mending the racial divide in America lies in giving them the tools to ask honest questions and take in the difficult answers. Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Boy is just one way young readers can begin to short circuit racism within their own lives and communities."--Goodreads.com
