Many of the socially pivotal moments in history were triggered by, driven by or accompanied with protests, small or large. The Black Lives Matter Movement is the most recent socially pivotal moment in U.S. history and has driven many teens to start or join protests and start asking questions about racism, black culture and black cultural history, and their role in this movement. Veronica Chambers, author of Call and Response: The Story of Black Lives Matter,  joins Mighty Parenting podcast host Sandy Fowler to discuss peaceful protesting, various methods of protesting, why it matters, how powerful it can be—and how to help our kids understand what they think and feel about the issues behind protests. Let’s show our kids how they as individuals can come together to effect real change in the world.
