For Beautiful Black Boys Who Believe in a Better World by Michael W. Waters
5.0
Why?
This is a question asked numerous times in this book and for a good reason. Why are so many black youths and adults dying with no rhyme or reason? Why can’t justice be served? Why do we keep fighting for justice even though there seems to be no hope?
In the year 2020, racism is still alive and well. The killing of black people is still alive and well. How do we explain it to our kids and our youths? Michael W. Waters wrote this about the conversations he had with his son Jeremiah as he grew up. It’s a guide, if you will, of how to approach this conversation with kids. Of how to tell them the truth without scaring them but also without lying to them.
Although this is a children’s book, the message goes beyond. The message that racism has no place. That we are more than the color of our skin. That we will not stop fighting until there is equality.
