Strategies and Resources for Families to Promote Racial Pride and Achievement Among Their Children of Color
Donna Ford

Students of color have an additional view of self that families and caregivers need to understand – racial identity development. Theories of racial identity are described, along with recommendations and resources to promote racial pride.
