 Diversity is the Challenge of the DayMulticultural and diversity challenges are more important than ever. They are the very issues that will guide humans to survival in the 21st Century. We must find ways to work through our discomfort and learn to live with each other far beyond our current assumptions about who we are. It takes courage and humility to recognize one’s cultural beliefs, fears and prejudices--and it takes good old fashioned work to learn to live and work together. Each of us has to face our fears. Diversity issues can be intense and complex; yet simple universals always emerge. In my homeland of Trinidad, West Indies, we say “all ah we is one”. It is this simple statement that underlies all of my work. Dr. Al Felice |
