“No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.” – Nelson Mandela
I’ve always loved this quote and it’s never been more relevant than now. Children are a blank canvas, ready to be filled with love and knowledge, so in an effort to more consciously teach diversity, I’ve put together some resources that I’ve gathered over the past two weeks that we’re using here at home. Anti-racism must be a constant learning, teaching, and holding each other accountable process. No one is going to do it perfectly. The important thing is that we ALL make the effort to just move forward with enlightened and understanding hearts and minds, and never regress this far back again.

Couldn’t agree with you more, children really are a blank canvas and it’s up to us as parents to teach them what’s right!
