For the benefit of all our students, they should be made aware of the different cultures and ethnicities that exist in the world, as well as the successes and challenges each have faced. Without this access, students develop in a vacuum which fails them and allows them to miss out on different ways of thinking and problem solving. Having grown up with many pre and post WWII immigrants, I was able to hear of the adversity they faced and admire their ability to overcome that adversity.
