New book club for faculty, staff tackles book with racial issues

City College’s new book club for faculty and staff called Campus-Wide Book Group held its first meetings on Feb. 9 and Feb. 10 to discuss this semester’s book, “Why Are All the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria?” by Beverly Daniel Tatum, current president of Spelman College in Atlanta, Ga.

The book club was created by the faculty and staff of the Basic Skills Initiative Steering Committee. Tatum’s book is about racial identities and how essential it is when it comes to communication with racial and ethnic dividing.

“It’s not a student club,” said City College history professor and Staff Resource Center coordinator Holly Piscopo. “The reason we are reading the book is to get a group of faculty and staff together for professional development.”
