"We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men [and women] are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness…" This quote is a small portion of the United States Declaration of Independence, which was an action taken by the Second Continental Congress on July 4, 1776. Because of the many infringements on their liberty, all thirteen colonies in America unanimously declared they were separating themselves from British rule. Since that historic day, it has been the ideology of the American people that everyone should be en-titled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Our country has gone through many growing pains to define and ensure those rights. As a people we have not yet reached diverse maturity. We are still trying to define those rights. To better understand the rights of others it is necessary to explore the subject of diversity.
