We know some white adults want to talk about race and racism with young children but don't know where to strart. In this interview with band members of City Love, we discuss how essential those conversations are and how to get started.

Episode 22: Talking to Young, White Children About Race, with City Love

Over 80% of teachers in the U.S. are white. But most don’t know that their whiteness matters. TWW seeks to move the conversation forward on how to be consciously, intentionally, anti-racist in the classroom. Because &quot;white&quot; does not mean a blank slate. It is a set of assumptions that is the baseline from which everything is judged; it is what passes for normal. This means if you are not white or don’t adhere to those assumptions, you are abnormal or less than. TWW wants to have conversations about those assumptions: what they are, how they impact our students, and how we can confront our assumptions to promote racial literacy.
