Description
It is time for "the talk." As much as African American parents wish that they can shelter their kids from the harsh realities of prejudice, stereotyping, racism, and police brutality, it is not feasible. The horrifying deaths of children such as Trayvon Martin, Tamir Rice, and Aiyana Stanley-Jones prove that children, no matter how young, can become victims of the horrid cancer of American racism, police brutality, and militarized police forces. There is no "talk" that can completely prevent such horrific incidents. However, parents must still attempt to awaken their children to life's challenges, prepare them for potential police encounters, and assure them that despite the obstacles of African American life, there is an abundance of hope for a brighter future and we must work to shape that better future.
This fictional story depicts a family's candid discussion of these pertinent issues in a way that is raw and powerful, yet still loving and uplifting.
