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
  • "For awkward questions white and non-black parents don't know how to answer, this is an essential guide to help support communication on how to dismantle racism amongst the youngest generation"--OCLC
  • "When I was a kid, I didn't have the language or the courage to talk about blackness or whiteness. And there were no adults talking to me about it either. Consider this book my attempt to be one of the adults who broaches those difficult conversations about race. Life is already hard enough as a young person trying to figure everything else out; the last thing we need is to make life any harder, to expect you to untangle racial issues and racial tensions America had handed you all on your own."--Back cover
