so what theirer friends liker peers like and the thing that is important because these barriers to the -- white supremacy dismantled when we also dismantle the barriers that lead us to thinking that's another person or that's quote-unquote the other, and i really think it's important especially with children there's such wonderful opportunity for children to be able to grow up learning about different histories and different people and not necessarily just through a white lens. so it's not education isn't critical central component but socialization, getting to know people. during the curb time frame it's not a being a able to meet other children of the playground or at school, but whether through video games of through books or other types of things, just have conversations about, there are lot of really wonderful kids books specifically that trace maybe what somebody who necessarily maybe haven't -- what they're not necessarilylashing about in school, the challenges and life stories and accomplishments of different communities of color across the united states. >> really are some won
