Chicago Children’s Museum stands in opposition to racism, injustice, and inequality.

We have been and will continue to be public and vocal about our beliefs and our actions. This is a powerful moment for all of us to talk with our children about race, racial injustice, and economic inequity. To do so will be planting the seeds to eradicate all racism—systemic and institutional.

We have put together a list of resources for parents and caregivers so that you can continue these important conversations with children.
