In honor of Martin Luther King Jr., the Bank Street Graduate School’s Child Life Program invites its students and alumni to a virtual book talk based on the text by Beverly Tatum, Why Are All the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria. Hosted by the Child Life faculty, this event will provide an opportunity to talk about our child life practice related to race and social justice.

We hope that you will join us for this event. We would love to see all of you and have an opportunity to talk and share ideas.
About the Book
The classic, bestselling book on the psychology of racism.
Walk into any racially mixed high school and you will see Black, White, and Latino youth clustered in their own groups. Is this self-segregation a problem to address or a coping strategy? Beverly Daniel Tatum, a renowned authority on the psychology of racism, argues that straight talk about our racial identities is essential if we are serious about enabling communication across racial and ethnic divides. These topics have only become more urgent as the national conversation about race is increasingly acrimonious. This fully revised edition is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the dynamics of race in America.
