In #OurVoicesDoc, the students of @JervetteWard’s class speak about how they view race and offer advice to future generations in order to help them navigate racial issues. What advice would you give to a young person to help them understand and deal with race in America?

#OurVoiceThisTime started as an in-class writing assignment where, like Baldwin, we wrote a letter to a younger person of our choice & gave them advice on navigating race & America. (1/3)
