Summary

"Approaching every awkward, taboo, and uncomfortable question with openness and patience, Emmanuel Acho connects his own experience with race and racism--from attending majority-white prep schools to his time in the NFL playing on majority-black football teams--to insightful lessons in black history and black culture. Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Boy is just one way young readers can begin to short circuit racism within their own lives and communities." -- Amazon.com.

An accessible audiobook for children to learn about systemic racism and racist behavior. For the awkward questions white and non-Black parents don₂t know how to answer, this audiobook is an essential guide to help support communication on how to dismantle racism amongst the youngest generation.
