Teaching diversity from within public school textbooks will improve race relations!
Race relations are still a VERY SERIOUS issue in America. Now that terrorism is a growing threat, America and the World must find ways to better teach and learn respect for all people.

Thought provoking radio guest Ray Mapp says, "When I attended public schools [Ray graduated from high school in 1981] I remember feeling embarrassed in front of my white friends about being black due to the curriculum being taught from time to time to the class by our teachers throughout most of our public school experience.
For the entire twelve years, the REQUIRED curriculum never taught anyone any intellectual contributions by Black people. The only mention of black people even today is slavery, and the civil rights movement all the while glorifying European domination. The key is that self-hate and poor racial sensitivity is instilled or at the very least re-enforced in many Americans of all ethnic groups through public education curriculum as well as the media.
Mapp states that this vicious cycle can only change when schools and the media accentuate the positive achievements - and de-emphasis the difficult past - of Black Americans and other minorities. He has devoted more than 25 years to studying the scientific, cultural, and other contributions of African American men and women.
