Assignment 21- Raising Cultural Awareness- Hayden Caldwell

Something I’ve looked to do for a while since moving to Lexington is become more culturally aware as a person. I believe doing so since I moved here has helped me be more understanding and respectful towards others. This should be a common goal among many in Lexington because it solves problems of racial and cultural prejudice that are all too common in society today. I would hope to do this through roundtable discussions with different types of people around the community. This is an ambitious project and one I obviously cannot start alone. My first goal would be to collaborate with other students and adults alike who share my vision to establish a blueprint for this work. Then, I would hope to work with local organizations to set up times and places for these discussions. If we can get businesses around the community in on the project, it will get the word out way more. I would hopefully be present for many of the discussions and learn even more about the great diversity of Lexington. Hopefully I can make something of this idea to fight fear and spread love in Lexington.
