In relevance of the social issues our Black community is facing during these times, KLRN is airing programs to highlight Black history, Black culture, Black race, diversity, policing, and civic and social discussions. There is power in learning together and we know these talks can be tough as adults, but especially hard for parents striving to have racial discussions with their children.
