2. Explore the past together to better understand the present. Historical events like the end of apartheid in South Africa, the civil rights movement in the United States and other movements for equality around the world remain symbols of a traumatic past that societies are still recovering from. Understanding them together can shine a light on how far we’ve come and how much further we still have to go. These shared experiences can further help your child build trust and openness to different perspectives. 3. Never avoid race-related conversations or questions. Instead, take time to explain the differences and how we should take every opportunity to challenge racism, demonstrate kindness and stand up for every person's right to be treated with dignity and respect
