“It is important for families to have serious conversations with their children about anti-Black racism, as well as systemic and institutional racism. It is not enough to acknowledge that racism exists or to remain silent. It is incumbent on us to take actions that lead to lasting change and zero-tolerance for anti-Black racism.”
