What to talk about when talking of race

The most common question from visitors to the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, D.C., concerns the difficulty of discussing race, especially to children. So the museum has introduced a digital program, Talking About Race, which uses videos, role-playing exercises and question-based activities to explore racial division through eight content areas: bias; race and racial identity; the historical foundations of race; whiteness; being anti-racist; community building; social identities and systems of oppression; and self-care. Each section features interviews with authors and activists, questions and exercises, and links to further resources.
