Why does educating kids on race matter?
Because teaching an honest history of the enduring legacy of anti-Black racism in America is foundational to building a more equitable society, now and in the future.
- Discussing race, racism and accurate historical information in school reduces prejudice among students of all racial backgrounds.
- Promoting “color blindness” and ignoring race, racism and stereotypes lead to increased prejudice.
- Helping historically excluded and marginalized students develop positive ethnic-racial identities improves academic outcomes, health and overall well-being.
In this essential ParentEd Talks event Khalil Gibran Muhammad, Ph.D., and Jeffery Robinson, two of the nation’s leading scholars on race, democracy, inequality and criminal justice, discussed the hidden history of racism in our country and how to forge a path forward.
