Talking About Race with Youth, Christopher Carter and Seth Schoen – Video and Discussion Outline
Rev. Dr. Christopher Carter and Dr. Seth Schoen on talking about race with youth.
Questions for all Youth Groups:
What does it mean to contemplate the fact that young children understand some things about racism?
Is this a conversation that is relevant to the church? Why or why not?
If so, how might we help youth “express what they’re seeing,” as Carter suggests?
