Why Are All the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria? by Beverly Daniel Tatum

How do young people respond to the environment of racial differences around them?

This book tries to answer this question, and suggests a framework how it is possible to build an environment of trust by educating people about racism.

Of course, no other person can live the experience of a black person irrespective of their education/empathy but this should not stop one from being educated and be a part of the better social understanding.

For the black kids in cafeteria sitting together, the reason is that they share a common experience which only the people in this close group can understand, and provide care and support.

Peace
