Kids and Race (A list of sources)

If you are reading this and didn’t come from Natural Mother Magazine, this article is a list of resources I used in my May 2016 article. I’ll link when the article goes live. Until then, this will seem disjointed and is basically a list of great reading if you are interested in the topic of children and race.
