NBC News NOW will stream a virtual discussion with families from around the country on the realities of parenting Black children in America.
The special will also focus on the conversations Black parents have had with their children concerning deaths of Black men and women by cops and how to talk and act around police when they are stopped, pulled over, or arrested.
Many have called for cities and states to defund the police in light of the protests sparked by the death of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor.
The protests and subsequent push on social media have put a new light on the disastrous relationship between Black people in America and the police.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed an executive order Friday repealing a law protecting police records from the public, a statewide ban on chokeholds, automatic appointment of a special prosecutor to cases of police killing unarmed civilians, and a law making race-based 911 calls a crime.
