Joseph reflects on his own experiences with racism and White supremacy from childhood to college and shares conversations on the topic with a diverse group of well-known figures including YA author Angie Thomas ( The Hate U Give), sports journalist Jemele Hill, and social activist Xorje Olivares.

Parents need to know that The Black Friend, by Frederick Joseph, speaks directly to young White people to show them how racism and mircoraggressions feel, and how they can be anti-racist. Mention of some people's interest in drinking alcohol in college, and of addiction to drugs, though no drug or alcohol use is described.ĭid you know you can flag iffy content?
