A class in school that addresses the contributions made by persons of every culture, like ten minutes devoted to each race's TRUE history, in a class addressing this theme. Contributions to a better wiser world do not have to come from book learning and wealth etc. Wisdom and histories, gems of knowledge, guidance for the young, come from oral histories, and are very valuable. Origin stories are full of wonderful clues if analyzed for the common threads. The ancient White cultures of Europe are as rich with important teachings as are the Native American etc. And the very old White cultures of Europe...those are OUR cultures long forgotten. I remember when a Native American tried to insult me by saying "White people have no culture" . What bullshit!! Our bloodlines and stories are as old as theirs, if not older! Insist on respect. Do not accept put-downs.
