Raising Anti-Racist Kids
Activating the Next Generation
BEVERLY DANIEL TATUM, PhD
In Conversation with
ALLISON BRISCOE-SMITH, PhD
Tues Nov 10, 4pm-5:15pm PST

Through generations of systemic racism, our nation has failed to protect and value Black children and families. Beyond learning about racism and the inequity that abounds in our communities, the issue of racial justice also requires action.
Dr. Beverly Daniel Tatum and Dr. Allison Briscoe-Smith will focus on how we, as parents, can play an active role in building an anti-racist society and supporting a future where all children are valued. Parents will hear practical advice for talking about race and inspiring kids to fight for racial equity.
