Many of us are grappling with how we respond personally, and even how to talk with our children, about race relations and current events. In this session, we share strategies for engaging in productive, positive and meaningful discussions at a one on one level. Members of Virginia's Coming Together for Racial Understanding Cooperative Extension team (Crystal Tyler-Mackey, Maurice Smith and Thomas Woodson) along with NC State Extension Youth Development Specialist Maru Gonzalez will lead the session.
