  2. Revision Why is California in the 21st century such a multicultural community?

  3. 1. The Native Americans of California are continuing to heal from the wounds of the past. As California recognizes the value of its multi-ethnic diversity, its native people are encouraged to celebrate their heritage and share it with the wider California culture.

  4. 2. The number of African Americans in California increased dramatically following the turn of the 20th century. Although old patterns of prejudice persisted, Africans Americans advanced in politics, business, sports and entertainment. School segregation and

  6. 3. By 1990, the number of European and Canadian immigrants had fallen dramatically, to less than 10 percent, and the number of immigrants from Mexico and Central America had climbed to well over half of the total.

  7. 4. Additionally, California's share of Asian immigrants doubled and now accounts for 40 percent of new immigrants in the state.
