Ways To Combat Prejudice At Home

• Know your roots and share your pride in your heritage with others.
• Celebrate holidays with extended family. Use such opportunities to encourage storytelling and share personal experinces across generations.
• Invite friends from backgrounds different from your own to experience the joy of traditions and customs.
• Be mindful of your language; avoid stereotypical remarks and challenge those made by others.
• Speak out against jokes and slurs that target people or groups. Silence sends a message that you are in agreement. It is not enough to refuse to laugh.
• Be knowledgeable; provide as much accurate information as possible to reject harmful myths and stereotypes. Discuss as a family the impact of prejudicial attitudes and behavior.
• Plan family outings to diverse neighborhoods in and around your community and visit local museums, galleries and exhibits that celebrate art forms of different cultures.
• Visit important landmarks in your area associated with the struggle for human and civil rights such as museums, public libraries, and historical sites.
• Research your family tree and trace your family's involement in the struggle for civil and human rights or the immigration experience. Identify personal heroes and positive role models.
• Read and encourage your children to read books that promote understanding of different cultures as well as those that are written by authors of diverse backgrounds.
• Recite the CLOSE THE BOOK ON HATE campaign pledge(check bottom of page), or a similar pledge against prejudice created by your student body at a school-wide assembly.
