Anti-Racism Lesson and resources for Children

We developed this lesson to help start the conversation with your youngest about Black Lives Matter and how to be an anti-racist. It is often easier for children to access and discuss big feelings through art- throughout the lesson children, ensure children have access to paper and colorful writing materials.

This lesson provides several activities for kids of all ages.
