Diversity is different people and languages and how they can give different ideas and solutions. Diversity is good because we can give different ideas and get better solutions. “The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or …abridged by the United States or by any state on account of race,color, or previous condition of servitude.” 15 th Amendment, U.S. Constitution
