*The Lincoln Public Library Children's Room presents The ABCs of Racism: Fostering Antiracist Conversation and Action with Kids*
Parent and Caregivers are invited to join us for this *Zoom Workshop on Wed, March 23 at 6:30pm * >From cradle to grave, by every metric of well-being we can measure -- education, employment, health, housing -- research tells us that deep racial disparities persist in our society. Research also tells us that children begin to notice and assign meaning to skin color by the age of 2. This makes racial literacy a critical part of preparing our children to lead lives as engaged, equity-minded problem-solvers in the world. Geared for White or multiracial parents and caregivers, this workshop is led by Wee the People, a Boston-based social justice group, and explores fundamental concepts of systemic racism, the barriers that block us from engaging with kids around race and racism, the social science of race awareness in children, and strategies to start and sustain antiracist and action in school and at home*.
