Review
Mr. Redman's motive for this fine writing was to help offset racial and national prejudice. He asserts that Abraham Linclon's famous statement, 'All men are created equal,' did not succeed, nor could such a premise ever succeed in overcoming prejudice. There is no prejudicial Caucasian who could possibly be convinced he is anything like his Black or Oriental contemporaries. The converse is equally true. The fact is, nothing in existence is exactly like its counterparts, and people are as different from each other as the leaves on a tree. That is fine, for it is nature's design. 'What Am I?' graphically shows that mankind's composition of a multitudinous variety of types of people is what we have, not in opposition to, but in common with each other. Our differences are supplementary and can be used beneficially for universal needs. -- Los Angeles Central Public Library

Lenn's message was important then and seemingly ahead of it's time. Considering the crisis in our schools, communities and in the world, the importance of diversity education is paramount!
