Resources for Parents #TeachThemEveryDay

Let this time be an important reminder that we should make an effort to teach our kids about race, equality, respect, empathy and acceptance...EVERY DAY. Not just because we see it on the news or because it is topical. Do it EVERY DAY. 🙏🏾 “The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character – that is the goal of true education.”  Martin Luther King Jr

Here is a list of resources for parents and teachers that want to speak to their children about race, racism, diversity and inclusion. I will continue to update as I find new resources. Please also consider donating to any of the groups and non-profit so they can keep doing their work.
