Here is a link to an article posted by Dr. Alex Barzvi, a child psychologist, that passes along some practical advice on why and how to talk to kids about race from early age in a way that will foster tolerance. The article was written by Charlton McIlwain, a professor at NYU: http://www.drbarzvi.com/2010/05/15/the-truth-about-race-how-to-talk-about-it-with-your-children/
I also found this document entitled "How to Be an Anti-Racist Parent: Real-Life Parents Share Real-Life Tips " that provides a ton of good information. http://curlykidz.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/how_to_be_an_anti-racist_parent.pdf
And here is a blog that is devoted to the topic, which I haven't had a chance to study in great detail yet, but plan to spend some time with in the coming days: http://loveisntenough.com/ And an article posted on that blog that I consider very good: http://loveisntenough.com/2011/07/20/white-noise-white-adults-raising-white-children-to-resist-white-supremacy-2/
And here a thought-provoking article by Allison Briscoe-Smith, a professor and psychologist at Berkeley: http://greatergood.berkeley.edu/article/item/rubbing_off/

My name is Ingrid Atzl Irigoyen. This is a place to share my personal reflections on a range of social justice issues, and echo the positive energy that authors who are experts on these topics put into the world by reposting their writings. It is one very modest contribution I can make to encourage a more just world.
