Race Between Us: Authors Examine How Racism Is Learned

Children learn the rules of society early in life based on how they are treated in every situation as they grow up. In the book Race Between Us, authors Brenda Baily Lett and Laurielee Woodcock Roy examine Racism: A Human Experience, as they describe their very different memories of growing up in America, one being from African descent, the other from European descent. How do we create a new society where racism is not taught by elders to the children? How do we repair the injustices of the past? Author Brenda Bailey Lett joins us today to take a look at how we instill racism in children and what must be done to stop it as she prepares for her upcoming appearance in New York City this evening, A Real Conversation on Race, Racism, Family, Privilege, Motherhood, and Life In America, hosted by BK Nation and Kevin Powell.
