Why Black Children Need to Read and Write Science Fiction

[Milton]

This weekend (August 18, 2012) I'm part of a panel at Happily Natural Day in Atlanta. We're discussing why black children need to read and write science fiction. I know my reason, but how about yours? Do you think black children should read and write science fiction? Why or why not? I'm interested in your feedback.

I think anything that requires black kids to expand their imaginations and inspire their creativity is good. Reading and writing science fiction actually serves a dual purpose because it can be a fun way to encourage an interest in science along with providing a way to improve writing skills. It is also an activity that can wean these youngsters off the mind-numbing video games that only serve to make them an extension of someone else's imagination
