[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would answer that all the poor people she has seen may have dark skin, but that poor people with all colors of skin are sadly everywhere.[/quote] This AND since my first grader learned about discrimination through the stories of MLK and Rosa Parks, I might talk about the legacy of that discrimination and how it has affected the lives of African Americans.[/quote] OP here. I did attempt to answer the question when she asked. I tried to describe racism and its impacts. As well as disparities in education and economic opportunity. I am not sure if any of it really made sense to a 7 year old. She has many friends with dark complexions as her school is very diverse. I think it is more that all of the panhandlers we see have the same complexion. I wish there was an age-appropriate book or something that someone could recommend. [/quote]
