KCC INTERNATIONAL HALL OF FLAGS
A spirit of Celebrating and Strengthening the Global Diversity at Kingsborough, represented by 142 National Backgrounds and 73 Different Languages
Kingsborough Community College
Celebrates its Diversity
Represented by
142 National Backgrounds
and 73 National Languages.
We are all caught up in an inescapable web of mutuality,
tied in a single garment of destiny.
--Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
We seek a world defined by solidarity and understanding, tolerance of dissent, celebration of cultural diversity, an insistence on fundamental, universal human rights, and a belief in the right of people everywhere to have a say in how they are governed. It is a world characterized by the belief that the diversity of human cultures is something to be celebrated, not feared. Such a world demands that we tear down the walls in our own minds — those separating us from them, rich from poor, white from black, Christian from Muslim from Jew — so that we are able to recognize the untold ways in which we can all benefit from cooperation and solidarity across lines of nationality, race or economic development.
Kofi Annan, Former Secretary-General of the United Nations, October 2002.
