Resources for engaging children around racism
Events of the summer of 2014 have accelerated the need to end racial discrimination, to understand what people of color endure in our culture and act to change the status quo. The UUA and Directors of Religious Education from our movement have amassed resources for us to use as individuals and communities. Periodic updates will be added and publicized. Integrating the anti-racism work, our congregation is already engaged in, into our CYRE program is underway.
