Revels was poised to become the first black person to serve in Congress. But despite his election to the post, the senator-to-be wasn’t welcomed…
The collective gasp that happens when a small child chooses an encounter with a supermarket cashier or her new doctor as the moment to notice racial differences is one that many parents can relate to. Kids often ask questions that adults wouldn’t dare—and that’s a good thing. “Children as young as three years old are…
