I’m not my skin colour
“No, I do not want to hold a Negro in my hand, said the boy next to her during morning assembly at preschool.”
During 15 years of growing up, Mary experienced racism in all its forms and it started already in preschool with the boy who refused to hold her hand.
Racism is for many a difficult subject to discuss but it is urgent and on-topic. Opinions about different values of people create different conditions in workplaces everywhere, which, in turn, affects both well-being and results.
The lecture’s content
