This week on the Huskie Conversation Cafe, your host J Pappas (they/them/theirs) is joined by Tamara Boston, (she/her/hers) a proud double alumna of Northern Illinois University and seasoned project coordinator for the Office of Academic Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.
J and Tamara discuss the history of apartheid, the parallels between South Africa and America, raising a biracial child in both cultural contexts, and why the history of apartheid is still relevant today. They reference chapters 2 and 9 in this episode of the podcast.

Debrief Questions:
What did you know about apartheid before this book? What do you know now?
Do you see any parallels between Trevor's’ and your own life and communities? What do they look like?
In what ways do violence and oppression over race still happen worldwide today?
In what ways can we make an impact in our communities against racism, violence, and oppression?
