Q4: Children are our future and their parents have a big influence on them. What can parents do to teach their children about racism besides just talking about it? #WokeWednesday #mimsPR

[Fatmata Jarr @FatmataJarr]

@CheckerboardUsa Take action. If they see acts of prejudice or racism done around their kids, point it out. Make sure their children know what those two topics are and that they are unacceptable. #checkerboardchat

Question 3: How do we change the minds of people whose ideas of racial prejudice have been taught to them since youth? How do we peacefully change racist mentality?

@CheckerboardUsa lt won’t be easy, and it won’t be quick, but it is necessary #checkerboardchat

[Fatmata Jarr @FatmataJarr]

@CheckerboardUsa By educating them. When they say something that feeds into that prejudice, we should educate that on why that thought is not okay or wrong.

@CheckerboardUsa because they are. that's actually really encouraging because at least it demonstrates a majority awareness of the fact that we need to come together and fix issues. it shows acknowledgement of the issue which is the first step to fixing it #mimsPR #WokeWednesday #CheckerboardChat

Let’s talk about race relations... there is so much that needs to be said, some find themselves afraid to speak up for the delicacy of the issue. But it needs to be discussed. Join our safe space at 5pm @CheckerboardUsa for the #WokeWednesday Twitter chat 💛

The fact that Trump has lifted President Obama's ban on elephant trophies being imported into the country is a devastating blow to the survival of these beautiful animals. It's savage and pointless. It breaks my heart.
