Dr. Beverly Daniel Tatum, President Emerita of Spelman College and author of the best-selling and critically acclaimed book Why Are All the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria? And Other Conversations about Race, guides us in a discussion that explores what it really means to be a parent of a transracially adopted person, how Black children experience racism, and how white adoptive parents and adults can learn to understand that experience. Joined by panelists Shanyce Henley, a birthparent, and Kevin Hofmann, author and transracially adopted person, Dr. Tatum walks us through knowledge critical for understanding race in America, including understanding that birthparents often have fears when placing their child in a family of a different race or culture, that many white parents aren’t provided the education they need to unpack the impact of race on their children, and what concrete action they can take to navigate a transracial adoption successfully.
