"Celebrating
Our Differences"
 Growing
up in suburban Minneapolis in the 70's didn't offer
much for diversity. My high school graduation class
consisted of roughly 600 kids, and I could probably
tabulate our entire minority contingent using the
fingers on just one hand. And the biggest variety
of our religious representation was perhaps the twenty
different types of Lutherans, who made up the far
majority. Looking back, the culture was very bland,
with anyone looking or acting differently in any manner

Being
surrounded by those similar to us often reinforces

apparent around the world and throughout human history.
It's only natural to want to be around others that

"It
is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability
to recognize, accept, and celebrate
those differences."
"We are...a
nation of differences. Those differences don't make
us weak. They're the source of our strength."
--Jimmy Carter
