[quote=Anonymous]I agree with the recommendation for Takoma Park/Silver Spring. Full transparency - I am a white person raising Black kids, and I know it isn't the same so want to be open about my own thinking. For me, it was even more important to be in an integrated neighborhood because it wasn't as though I had an extended family that could act as role models for my kids. I had to move someplace where their faith community, parks, swimming pool, daycare, and schools would reflect their background, and where middle class Black families lived and worked. Being someplace where it is easy to find a Black pediatrician and dentist, and where the school leadership and teachers are also Black, has been incredibly useful as my kids navigate their world.
