By presenting the impact of racism on the most innocent and powerless members of society- children of colour - in the form of statistics, this book hopes to change attitudes and perceptions. The questions this book poses are: What responsibility do we expect children to take for their life circumstances? Do those conditions blight their futures? If they aren't responsible, who is? Are some in society privileged and complicit in denying people of colour the advantages and protections from harm most of us take for granted?
