Article/Audio: Teenagers Reflect On Race In America |
“Nearly three-quarters of teenagers today say that they have talked to a parent about race in the past year.

Teenage YR Media reporters from five parts of the country recorded interviews with family members and peers, each exploring a different question; from navigating being mixed-race to how white privilege plays out in families.”
