Celebrating Cultural Diversity and Inclusiveness
It is imperative that this nation face and embrace its cultural diversity. While many people have talked
about this issue, I believe that most of them have only paid lip service to the true necessity of what needs
to be addressed related to this issue. There is a false truth in merely accepting and tolerating cultural
diversity. I intend to prove that in order to accept and understand people of other cultures; one must be
willing to step out of a personal cultural comfort zone and identify the origin of their prejudice. I will
specifically focus on three areas: Children, Communities, and Businesses.
The title of Miss America, combined with the national media already looking at the surface of this issue,
will allow me to create the national awareness that must exist. Currently, the term “Cultural Diversity” is
well known in the halls of institutions of higher learner and, perhaps, even in the public school classroom
because of the need for some to be politically correct. But, in order for us to make a true change in
attitudes and behaviors of Americans, we must move beyond talk and into action and policy changes.
My plan is to motivate the media and to partner with the National Conference for Community and Justice
(NCCJ). This organization has chapters in every major city in the nation and, in many cases, those
chapters have community leaders involved who can, with encouragement and challenging, bring this issue
out of hiding and into the public light in each of those communities.
Obviously the media and the NCCJ already exist. However, what is lacking is a lightning rod to draw
attention to this issue. This is where the Miss America Organization steps into the lead. What better role
is there for Miss America than to be an agent of change in organizing our nation to accept our differences
and to create an environment that values each person on individual characteristics rather than on
stereotypes or assumptions?
For years, Miss America was seen as a young woman who cut ribbons and appeared in parades. It is time
for “Miss America” to step out of the convertible and lead the parade. Our country’s ethnic make-up is
changing rapidly and our citizen’s fear of terrorism can explode already existing, but deeply hidden
prejudices. I want to be the leader that this nation needs.
This nation needs this issue addressed now and through the already existing NCCJ and its local and state
organizations combined with the power of Miss America, we can make a concrete difference now, which
will change the direction and the future of our nation.
