A Great Gift Idea for a Child
May 28, 2009
At five, my daughter is already struggling with a racial identity and dismisses the Barbies and other Caucasian toys she finds at toy stores. This is particularly true, however, at our church when the images she sees of angels and Jesus are, again, mainly white. Not wanting her to feel like there is no ethnic imagery out there, I found some black angel figurines for her to have in her bedroom.
While this doesn’t solve the overall issue that kids of an interracial background are pulled in different directions, it does comfort my child to know that not everything out there has to be white.

I agree whole heartily, racial identity is a problem in the african american community. My sister continuously fills her home with beautiful african american art figurines to surround, show, and remind her daughters that black people are also beautiful. It’s definitely something we have to keep reminding our children of. They are beautiful!
