Reading about and celebrating African and Indigenous histories and cultures can be among the powerful first steps for children to engage with and expand their understanding of the world around them. And discussing commonalities across cultures helps children develop a strong sense of self and identity while recognizing and honoring diversity. To support these conversations and learning experiences, LFJ offers parents, caregivers and educators talking points, activities and book recommendations.
Conversations about African and Indigenous cultures are essential for learning about the history of our country and making connections with a broader world.
These recommendations for discussing the history and legacy of slavery and race with children also provide age-appropriate information to emphasize in conversations.
Reading groups that bring students, educators and families together benefit everyone. This guide offers step-by-step instructions for planning reading groups that include and empower the entire community.
