Day 4: Racial Literacy

Racial literacy is a concept that describes a set of practices designed by parents and others to teach their children how to recognize, respond to, and counter forms of everyday racism. This concept was developed by sociology professor and social filmmaker France Winddance Twine from her research in the UK with mixed race families. Our challenge here is to proactively seek knowledge in order to change our implicit and explicit biases to be more racially literate.
