Abstract
The conversation of systemic racism can be an unnerving one, especially with children and teens. It is critical to first examine one’s own racial identity development, and the historical context of race and racism before engaging in “The Conversation”. This session will provide the historical underpinning of institutional race and racism, strategies for examining racial identity development, and practical strategies you can use to broach “The Conversation” with children and teens in our schools.
