You make the excellent point that it's important to learn African American not just because you're African American but because you're AMERICAN. People tend to forget that too often. I'm so glad Burr Burr & Friends is out there, it sounds like a wonderful series and resource that all children and parents should read :) I would agree that racisim is discussed much earlier in Black families than in white families, it is often ignored I've learned this from various conversations with my white friends. Thank you for sharing! Bravo! You make the excellent point that it’s important to learn African American not just because you’re African American but because you’re AMERICAN.
