Donna Brit spoke with her sons on NPR Thursday morning. After class on Thursday night, I was thinking about this broadcast a lot and the systemic changes that need to be made, so that more people are involved in this "talk," rather than just a mother and her black son. This is a very worthwhile read. The link above takes you to the transcript from the broadcast.
