In Black families, it’s known as “The Talk”: the discussion Black parents have with their kids about what to do should they end up in an interaction with a police officer. The Talk takes on a new poignancy this Father’s Day as the nation mourns George Floyd, killed at the hands of a Minneapolis police officer, and demonstrators protest the recent police killings of unarmed black men and women.
