As President Obama said in this year’s State of the Union address, “The world respects us not just for our arsenal; it respects us for our diversity and our openness and the way we respect every faith.”
Featuring U.S. Embassy staff from diverse backgrounds, this video also celebrates National African American History Month (NAAHM). NAAHM, which is commemorated each February, honors the heritage of African Americans and their contributions to U.S. society. It’s also a time for us to celebrate diversity, and the tremendous benefits we reap by promoting more inclusive and tolerant communities.
We invite you to join in the conversation on diversity. Talk to your friends and family about what diversity means to you and how we can build a more inclusive society together.
