Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Boy
Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Boy:
Racism, Injustice, and How You Can Be a Changemaker
Hardcover – May 4, 2021
by Emmanuel Acho (Author)
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.
