The Benefit of Racial Pride When Raising Diverse Kids

Growing up, I spent my summers devouring Children of the Sun and Great Kings and Queens of Africa. While my classmates were learning about George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, I was curled up with books that introduced me to Mansa Musa, Queen Nzinga, and Kwame Nkrumah. Back then, it sometimes seemed I was just doing double the homework, but now I know my parents were planting in me imagination, belief in myself, racial pride, and truly resilient roots.
