How to Model Anti-Racism for Children - A Parent's Guide on Race & Racism - PBS KIDS for Parents

Being anti-racist means talking about race and racism with the understanding that all the racial groups are equals. Dr. Renee Wilson-Simmons, Executive Director of the ACE Awareness Foundation, explains why standing up when racism happens is important. Jamal Berry, Director of Educare in Washington, DC, emphasizes the importance of acknowledging racism and learning about policy and systems to create change. Dr. Dana Winters, Director of Simple Interactions and Academic Programs at the Fred Rogers Center for Early Learning and Children's Media, suggests that modeling anti-racism is something parents should just do.
