A Conversation with Anthony Peterson

Anthony Peterson has studied, taught, and written about cultural and racial realities for more than 30 years. I discovered him through one of his Tedtalks and was so impressed by his words that I conquered my shyness and contacted him; my gesture was met with utmost kindness and openness. Since 2004, he has designed and facilitated diversity workshops in corporate, academic, and community settings.Anthony’s diversity discussions took a personal turn in 2014 when he began documenting conversations with his white grandchildren regarding race. He hopes that those conversations serve as an invitation for others to tell their own racial stories.
