Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man
Summary
"Acho’s gregariously pragmatic delivery educates with clarity and makes the book come alive." (Booklist) This program is read by the author, and includes a bonus conversation. An urgent primer on race and racism, from the host of the viral hit video series Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man “You cannot fix a problem you do not know you have”. So begins Emmanuel Acho in his essential guide to the truths Americans need to know to address the systemic racism that has recently electrified protests in all 50 states. “There is a fix”, Acho says. “But in order to access it, we’re going to have to have some uncomfortable conversations”. In Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man, Acho takes on all the questions, large and small, insensitive and taboo, many White Americans are afraid to ask - yet which all Americans need the answers to, now more than ever. With the same open-hearted generosity that has made his video series a phenomenon, Acho explains the vital core of such fraught concepts as white privilege, cultural appropriation, and “reverse racism”. In his own words, he provides a space of compassion and understanding in a discussion that can lack both. He asks only for the listener's curiosity - but along the way, he will galvanize all of us to join the antiracist fight.

Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Boy
Summary
This program is read by the author. An engaging children's book whose aim is opening a dialogue about systemic racism, inspired by Emmanuel Acho’s viral video series "Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man". Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Boy is an accessible audiobook for children to learn about systemic racism and racist behavior. For the awkward questions white and non-Black parents don’t know how to answer, this book is an essential guide to help support communication on how to dismantle racism amongst our youngest generation. Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Boy creates a safe, judgment-free space for curious children to ask questions they’ve long been afraid to verbalize. How can I have white privilege if I’m not wealthy? Why do Black people protest against the police? If Black people can say the N-word, why can’t I? And many, many more. Young people have the power to affect sweeping change, and the key to mending the racial divide in America lies in giving them the tools to ask honest questions and take in the difficult answers. Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Boy is just one way young listeners can begin to short circuit racism within their own lives and communities.
