Growing up in my house was like living in a current events class with the best teachers in the world.

That's how I have every intention of raising my girls when they're a bit older. I've already started on the 8 year old, was telling her about Nelson Mandela when he died last year but she just was completely unable to understand and wrap her head around the idea that there are places in the world where black people were denied the right to vote, educate themselves, own property etc. solely because of the color of their skin.
