What is Racism?

Talking about racism is hard. Often people just don't know what to say, so they say nothing. It's important to learn what racism is. Find out why some people are racist and what you can do if you see or experience racism. The more information you have, the more ready you will be to stand up to racism.

Level 3 readers are aimed at children who are reading by themselves and can grasp new concepts. Key words and captions help readers understand new vocabulary and more challenging sentence structure.

This project has been made possible in part by the Government of Canada.
