The history of the United States involves the experiences not only of different groups of European immigrants and their descendants but also of diverse groups, including, but not limited to, American Indians, Latinos, African Americans, and Asian Americans--all of whom played significant roles in the development of contemporary culture and together shape the future of the United States. At the same time, the recognition that gender, class, and religious differences cut across all distinctions of race and ethnicity offers an even richer variety of perspectives from which to view ourselves. Awareness of our cultural diversity and its multiple sources can illuminate our collective past, present, and future and can help us to achieve greater mutual understanding and respect. The objective of the Cultural Diversity requirement is to promote awareness and appreciation of cultural diversity within the contemporary United States through the study of the cultural, social, or scientific contributions of women and minority groups, examination of their experiences in the U.S., or exploration of successful or unsuccessful interactions between and among cultural groups.

For example, the 19th Amendment passed on August 11, 1920 enabling women to vote, would not have been possible without the First Women's Rights Convention in Seneca Falls, New York which met on July19-20, 1848 and which laid the initial foundation for women's suffrage. Similarly the LGBTQ community would not be what it is today without the Stonewall Uprising in New York City beginning on June 28, 1969 which similarly launched the gender equality movement. ENH140AA, Sports in Literature and Film, traces the evolution of sports from the early 17th Century to the present. Sports are not isolated "games" but reflect the times in which they originate and thrive. As a microcosm of their Cultural Diversity [C] Page 5 society, they may reinforce or challenge the prevailing cultural mores, but invariably they shed nationwide public light on issues that have been festering in the dark involving racism, sexism, and gender inequality, among others. 2a.
