In a heartfelt Father's Day (June 22nd) post, Justin Timberlake expressed how important it is to talk to children about race. He posted a series of photos of his son alongside the following Instagram caption:
“We try to teach our son to love and to respect everyone — we teach him that all people are all created equal, and that no one should be treated differently because of the color of their skin. We teach him this because one day, he will go on to teach his kids the same. It’s a cycle. And right now, as we all work to undo generations of discrimination that have plagued our system and our communities across this country… I’m reminded today that the first lessons start at home.”
He also thanked his own parents for having similar conversations with him as a child and for “listening to me when I had something to say that they hadn’t learned.”
