Abstract

We asked parents to describe their last conversation with their children about racial inequality and explain their reasons for having these discussions. Participants were 20 parents of children aged 6–10 years (M = 7.86). Thematic analysis revealed differences between Black and White parents in the frequency and content of conversations.
