Join us for reading, learning, and community as we discuss books by BIPOC authors. 

Our first book will be Why Are All the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria?, written by former Mount Holyoke professor, dean, and acting president, Beverly Daniel Tatum.

From Dr. Tatum’s website: “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.”

At the next meeting (October 28, 2020), we’ll dig into Love in Colour by Bolu Babalola.

Please reach out to suggest any books for future meetings!
