Questions that open a dialogue

Adapted from Emmanuel Acho’s book for adults, this young readers edition brings conversations about systemic racism into a format centered on questions and answers. Acho draws on experiences in majority-white prep schools and on majority-Black football teams, connecting them with lessons in Black history and culture. The book addresses difficult and often avoided questions about race, while framing young people as participants in change within their lives and communities. Its combination of personal experience, historical context, and practical focus gives the subject both individual and broader social dimensions.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Young readers interested in learning about racism and racial injustice.
  • Children looking for an entry point to conversations about Black history and culture.
  • Adults seeking material to support discussions of race with young people.

Book overview

Adapted from Emmanuel Acho's New York Times bestseller Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man, comes an essential young readers edition aimed at opening a dialogue about systemic racism with our youngest generation.

Young people have the power to affect sweeping change, and the key to mending the racial divide in America lies in giving them the tools to ask honest questions and take in the difficult answers.

Approaching every awkward, taboo, and uncomfortable question with openness and patience, Emmanuel Acho connects his own experience with race and racism--from attending majority-white prep schools to his time in the NFL playing on majority-black football teams--to insightful lessons in black history and black culture.
Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Boy is just one way young readers can begin to short circuit racism within their own lives and communities.
