  1. Diversity Book report:“Why Are All the Black kids sitting together in the cafeteria?”and other conversations about race Presented by:Terrilyn Gray

  2. Overview • Defining Racism • Complexity of Identity • The Early Years • 1st race-related memory • Adolescent Identity Development • Adulthood Identity Development • Development of White Identity • White Identity & Affirmative Action • More than just Black & White • Multiracial Families • Embracing Cross-Racial Dialogue

  3. Critique • Likes • Discussion questions are included to encourage future conversations on race relations • Writing style is personal and detailed • I could relate to some of her personal stories, especially Chapter 3: The Early Years “Is my skin brown because I drink chocolate milk?” • Dislikes • Focuses mainly on Black-White issues • There is a need for deeper discussions (more than one chapter) on other diverse groups

  4. Correlations To This Course • Discusses the attitudes and behaviors of members of different cultural groups • Provides tools for working with diverse populations • Addresses issues affecting diverse populations

  5. Vocabulary • Active Racism • Blatant, intentional acts of racial bigotry and discrimination • Passive Racism • Beliefs, attitudes, and actions that contribute to the maintenance of racism, without openly advocating violence or oppression • Prejudice • Preconceived judgment or opinion, usually based on limited information • Racial Identity Development • Process of defining for oneself the personal significance and social meaning of belonging to a particular racial group • Racism • A system of advantage based on race • Racist • A person with a prejudiced belief that one race is superior to others

  6. Recommendations • Dr. Tatum writes a great book that I highly recommend all educators and parents read as a tool for dealing with race relations • She includes discussion topics and other resources that readers can use to assist in active engagement of this important topic
