How to Talk to Our Kids about Race and Racism (Tuesday, Jan 9, 6:30pm)

Every night, parents and kids hear about events and incidents that are frightening, difficult to understand, and often uncomfortable to talk about. Join us at the January 9th PTA meeting for a discussion about how we can talk to our kids about race and racism, led by two experts in the field who are also mothers engaging in this discussion with their own children.
