Celebrate Diversity Month

At USA Truck, we value Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion during ‘Celebrate Diversity Month’ – and every month. 

April is Celebrate Diversity Month, a celebration that was initiated in 2004 to recognize and honor the diversity surrounding us all. By celebrating differences and similarities this month, organizers hope that people will gain a deeper understanding of each other. 

In honor of Celebrate Diversity Month, we can carry on the practice of encouraging the acknowledgement of our differences by engaging with facets of other cultures, perspectives, and lifestyles in significant ways. 

Here are several ways that you can celebrate diversity and open your eyes to new things. You can do these things by yourself, with family, or even virtually:

• Talk with someone from a different culture about the values and practices that they recognize
• Read a book, watch a movie, or catch a docu series that looks at different cultures, lifestyles, or topics from a multicultural lens
• Listen to a different type of music and learn a dance that goes along with it
• Try a food or new recipe that is native to a different culture 
• Try to learn a new language via a free App or YouTube

Our hope is that we all use this month as an opportunity to embrace the beauty that surrounds and makes each of us so special. 

“In diversity there is beauty and there is strength. We all should know that diversity makes for a rich tapestry, and we must understand that all the threads of that tapestry are equal in value no matter their color.”
