"It is important that divergent views of all peoples in our society become respected and that the integrity of those in society with whom we differ is maintained. Training the leaders of tomorrow to foster inclusion of ideas, views, colors, races, sexual orientations, etc is critical."
Help Encourage Tolerance
"I have spent the last eight months with 21 fantastic teenagers and I have learned more than I ever thought possible. We have learned about each other's cultures, histories, and religions. We have seen each group's successes and failures. And what I have learned has helped me challenge my own beliefs, notions, and stereotypes. This will help me better serve my community today, tomorrow and far into the future."

Background
America has had a long history dealing with issues of race and discrimination. We have come a long way overtime, but there is still much to be done to bring about racial equality.
Of the over 6,600 hate crimes that occurred in 2010, 60% were motivated by race or ethnicity.
Work with nonprofits fighting for justice and racial equality near you. By providing diversity workshops, advocating for the civil rights of people of color, or offering creative outlets to encourage appreciation of culture and diversity, you can make a difference in your community.
