Abstract

Illustration has the ability to create awareness of different cultures in a way that can educate and inspire. As the church continues to expand globally, the leaders of the church have recognized the need for increased understanding and appreciation of the rich ethnic diversity which exists. President Hinckley stated, “We must resolve to live together in a society of men and women of diverse backgrounds, interests, and cultures. We must live with respect and tolerance and understanding one for another. We can and should retain our individuality, and respect that of others, while nurturing together a great society dedicated to the blessing of all who reside here. We must work cooperatively to maintain and enhance those elements of our common culture, those expressions of the arts which refine and elevate the human spirit.”(Utah Centennial Day Celebration, January 4, 1996.)
