Celebrating Diversity

Diversity is essential to human life. Our diverse identities shape society and influence the way we move through the world. Having a diverse society can make us stronger communicators, more creative problem solvers, and clearer critical thinkers. But in order to truly value diversity, we have to be comfortable talking about it. This book offers an introduction to the diverse social identities that make up our society. Primary sources help document ways people have fought for acceptance and inclusion in American society. Readers will also find suggestions for showing respect to others and making connections across differences.
