Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Boy

Emmanuel Acho addresses questions that can feel awkward or taboo in conversations about race and racism. Drawing on his own experiences in majority-white preparatory schools and on majority-Black NFL football teams, he connects personal experience with Black history and Black culture. The book calls for open dialogue and honest questions about systemic racism, injustice, and how people can respond. Its focus is the relationship between individual conversations, racial identity, and broader social conditions.
