Best of: Dr. Ibram X. Kendi on Raising Antiracists

Dr. Ibram X. Kendi⁠ is the author of many highly acclaimed books including STAMPED FROM THE BEGINNING: The Definitive History of Racist Ideas in America, which won the National Book Award for Nonfiction. In 2020, Time magazine named Dr. Kendi one of the 100 most influential people in the world. Dr. Kendi was awarded a 2021 MacArthur Fellowship, popularly known as the Genius Grant. In this interview, we are discussing his book HOW TO RAISE AN ANTIRACIST. His latest book for young readers is called MALCOM LIVES and you can buy it here.

In this interview, Dr. Kendi explains:

• why caregivers cannot protect young people from racism by ignoring what’s happening to our children
• why teaching antiracism is the best way to protect our children from racism's harms
• why children have an easier time understanding these ideas than we might think
• how putting off conversations about race, or giving kids the message that racism is unmentionable, can make our children prey to more sinister messaging

It is never too early, or too late, to start raising our kids to be antiracist.
