Emmanuel Acho: U.S. history is like "an autobiography, written about White people by White people"

Former NFL star and host of the video series "Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man" Emmanuel Acho is out with a new book that he hopes will help today's youth set a tone for discussions on race, culture and privilege, and learn healthy ways to express and understand those topics.

"I wrote this book to actually offer true dialogue that our young White brothers and sisters, our young Black brothers and sisters can engage with because they probably won't hear about this in the history books," Acho said in an interview on CBSN Thursday.  His new book, titled "Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Boy," looks to "encourage" Black and Brown children who question their identity and place in the world because of their skin color, as well as to educate "White boys and girls who might be unintentionally ignorant and racially insensitive."
