| Abstract |
This thesis aims to promote cultural understanding and pride among young students in a multi-ethnic society. The curriculum is designed to address the historical neglect of ethnic minority perspectives in education, which often leads to harmful racist attitudes. The core of the project involves detailed instructional units for three-week periods focused on Mexican-Americans, Black Americans, and Native Americans (specifically Navajo), covering their history, customs, foods, music, dance, literature, and art. An additional short chapter introduces a unit on Poverty Stricken Whites (Appalachian) to be taught alongside the other groups, and the overall objective is to help children gain respect and appreciation for diverse cultural backgrounds. |
