Synopsis of Lecture:

In terms of Ethnic Diversity Dwayne Antoine would like to talk about how U.S. population has evolved demographically, specifically to focus on the Post WWII boom. His experience in the United States Air Force taught him that Americans represent a population that can be defined by more than just Black, White, & Latino. He has been an expatriate since 1997 – and has a unique experience which can lend itself to an interesting discussion on Ethnic Diversity.
