Adapted from Emmanuel Acho's New York Times bestseller Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man, comes an essential young readers edition aimed at opening a dialogue about systemic racism with our youngest generation.
Young
people have the power to affect 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.
Approaching
every awkward, taboo, and uncomfortable question with openness and
patience, Emmanuel Acho connects his own experience with race and
racism―from attending majority-white prep schools to his time in the NFL
playing on majority-black football teams―to insightful lessons in black
history and black culture.
Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Boy is just one way young readers can begin to short circuit racism within their own lives and communities.
