Children’s Summer Antiracism Story Cooperative
(A Digital Platform)

During the month of August, the North Dakota Human Rights Coalition will host a series of three one-hour Zoom story sessions. Each week, the children will be introduced to a story that celebrates the rich diversity of human. The host will read the story aloud as the children follow along. Cooperative conversation for children and adults to follows the reading. How do we raise children to deconstruct race?

For the adults - How do we, those of us with white bodies, create a framework of repair? When a white person says they are not racist, they truly do not understand racism. . . If we are listening, we can hear people of color saying “do not be silent.” “Do the work amongst yourselves. . .”

The first 20 children (one copy per household or group) to RSVP for a cooperative story session will be shipped a complimentary copy of the weekly featured children’s book. After the session, attendees will be sent a thank you mailing.
