#1413: "Why Are All The Black Kids Sitting Together In The Cafeteria?"

In 1997, a classic book on the psychology of racism was published called “Why Are All the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria? - And Other Conversations About Race”.  Now that book has been updated and rereleased as a 20th anniversary edition and it seems as fresh as the day it was new.

Today on the Best of Our Knowledge, a conversation with Dr. Beverly Daniel Tatum about the update of her book on race and education in the US.

Plus we’ll spend an academic minute getting an update on the refugee crisis, going all the way back to 400 BC.
