The white among us choose to do differently with our kids than was done with us - with commitment, clarity, and love. Raising Antiracist Kids is an accessible, direct, and necessary resource for parents of white children longing for a world of justice and mutuality. Read it. Engage it. Share it with a friend.</p><p></p><p>- Jennifer Harvey, PhD., author of <em>Raising White Kids: Bringing Up Children in a Racially Unjust America</em></p><p><br></p><p>"Raising Antiracist Kids synthesizes current research to explain in down-to-earth language why white children are likely to develop racially prejudiced beliefs. Author Rebekah Gienapp's recommendations for family action steps are practical and her personal journey is moving. Readers will be inspired to openly examine and challenge white privilege in their families and communities."</p><p>- Marietta Collins, PhD. and Ann Hazzard PhD., authors of <em>Something Happened In Our Town: A Child's Story about Racial Injustice</em></p><p><br></p><p>"There's so much to love about Rebekah Gienapp's short book. Its tons of practical advice that engage some of the most commonplace and difficult challenges caregivers face. The many stories from her personal experience as a child and a mother. The accessibility of the ideas and language. Most strikingly, Rebekah is as generous in sharing the many "mistakes" along her path to raising an antiracist son as she is with her wise advice, and in doing so she imparts arguably the most crucial lesson of all. To paraphrase Maya Angelou: do your best, and when you know better, do better. If you're a white parent to white children and pay attention to this excellent book, you'll do better."</p><p>- Andrew Grant-Thomas, PhD., co-founder, EmbraceRace</p><br>
