Dear Family,
Perhaps by now you've seen videos of black children being asked to pick between a white doll and a black doll. The most famous video of recent note was conducted by Kiri Davis.
Why is it important to teach the knowledge of self? See for yourself and tell a friend.

The question I have is why did Kiri Davis choose or allow those questions to be asked? What would have been the girls responses if the questions had been posed differently. Humm!!!!
