Twenty-two years ago, the seminal work of Dr. Beverly Daniel Tatum, "Why Are All the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria?", was published. On Thursday, April 18, 2019, Tatum discussed the current state of race relations in the nation with Dean Melissa Nobles. Is it better or worse than it was 20 years ago? What can we, as an institution and a nation, do to create a more equitable Institute and society?
"Why Are All the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria?" was the spring 2019 selection for MIT Reads, an all-campus reading and discussion program. Learn more at [ Ссылка ]

The MIT Libraries are an engine for creating, sharing, and safeguarding knowledge at the Institute and beyond.
The Libraries work to improve the world’s collective knowledge by equipping current and future scholars with the best content and the skills to use it, whether examining medieval manuscripts or flying drones to collect data. We make MIT research — from the LIGO detection of gravitational waves to the future of workplace automation — openly accessible to the world. Our new research initiative will tackle the big challenges in information science and scholarly communication, ranging from digital preservation to accessibility and inclusion in library systems.
