‘What’s the right age?’ ‘How do I even begin?’
If you’re a parent and you have these and other questions on how to talk to your child about race and racism, you might want to check out ‘The Role of Building Bridges in Racial Dialogue,’ an event presented by Building Bridges of Asheville on Tuesday, April 28, from 6:00 to 7:15 p.m. at Asheville City Preschool (441 Haywood Road.)
Participants are invited to engage in a dialogue by exploring this topic through conversation and an interactive workshop. A light dinner will be provided and childcare provided upon request.
For more information, contact Erin at (828) 350-6189 or erin@acsf.org.
The Mission of Building Bridges of Asheville is to enable the community to confront and overcome racism through a continuing process of changing attitudes and hearts through education, consciousness raising, nurturing, and ongoing support. Their goal is to be intentional in respecting diversity within the community. To find out more, visit their website.

The comments section is here to provide a platform for civil dialogue on the issues we face together as a local community.

Xpress editors are determined to moderate comments to ensure a constructive interchange is maintained. All comments judged not to be in keeping with the spirit of civil discourse will be removed and repeat violators will be banned. See here for our terms of service.
