What I am learning from my white grandchildren -- truths about race | Anthony Peterson | TEDxAntioch


White parents do their children a great disservice by not talking openly about race. This TED Talk was excellent, so watch it.

"When we talk openly with our children about race, we don't burden them, we free them."

"There is the reality that race matters, and not always in positive ways."
