Changing the Legacy of Race & Ethnicity
The issue of racism and violence against people of color runs deep. While we‘ve made progress over the years, this feels like a moment when people all over the country recognize that half-measures are not enough. This is a deep, centuries-in-the-making challenge that we face to undo racism, and we need decisive action. Changing the Legacy of Race & Ethnicity is a conversation series initiated by Colorado Humanities and implemented with partners to encourage understanding and discussion about the legacy of race and ethnicity in America, and how to make changes now for a more just future. Our public conversations in this series focus on culturally relevant healthcare, voting rights, educational equity, Colorado Indigenous experiences and contributions, innovative housing solutions, the role of whites in racial justice, policing, and talking to children about race.

Colorado Humanities produced the Changing the Legacy of Race and Ethnicity series of panel discussions for individuals who want to find their own ways to contribute to the fight for justice and human rights. Each panel brings diversity in thought and conversation with community experts. In this episode we'll discuss talking to children about race.
We’d like to thank our partners, including the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Colorado Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and local sponsors GroundFloor Media, Center Table, Durango Herald, Tate Law, and Arapahoe Libraries.
