The other talk : reckoning with our white privilege Cover Image Book

The other talk : reckoning with our white privilege / Brendan Kiely ; illustrated by Sean Williams.

Kiely, Brendan, 1977- (author.). Williams, Sean (Photographer), (illustrator.).

Summary:

"All too many kids of color get 'the talk.' The talk about where to keep their hands, how to wear their clothes, how to speak, how to act around police-an honest talk, a talk about survival in a racist world. The get "the talk" because they must. But white kids don't get this talk. Instead, they're barely spoken to about race at all-and that needs to change. The Other Talk begins this much-needed conversation for white kids. In an accessible, anecdotal, and honest account from his own life, Brendan Kiely introduces young readers to white privilege, unconscious bias, and allyship-because racism isn't just an issue for people of color, it's an issue white people have to deal with, too, and it's time we all start doing our part"-- Provided by publisher.
