In this invited address, Beverly Daniel Tatum, PhD, president of Spelman College, discusses why honest conversations about race are important, especially as these conversations relate to education. Tatum discusses the history of intelligence testing, the concept of stereotype threat and strategies for teachers and other adults to consider in an effort to reduce stereotype threat and increase trust in cross-racial interactions.
