以多元化自豪：第九區的眾多聲音
地方性遺產
您能舉出幾個能夠代表您所在社區的種族團體名稱呢？假如您的社區就像美國境內，其他大部分的社區一樣，那麼，也許您能舉出幾個來。美國常被外人形容成「大熔爐」，一個住有許多不同種族及不同信仰居民的地方，因為人種的混雜所致，這個國家會比大家都是同一個樣子的情況下，來的有趣的多。
一部分座落在芝加哥境內的第九議會區，是國內種族最多，即差異性最多的議會區之一，裡面住有俄國人、印度人、波蘭人、巴基斯坦人、拉丁美洲人、海地人、柬埔寨人及其他來自世界各地的人；另外，該區也擁有眾多不同的宗教信徒，如：猶太教信徒、回教徒及基督徒，他們全都交會在一起，住在各自的社區內。
第九區所舉辦的諸多節慶，旨在慶祝令他們感到自豪的多樣化，並藉此頌揚讓美國成為一個獨特國家的人種差異性。
How many ethnic groups can you name that are represented in your community? If your community is like much of the rest of the country, there are probably several. The United States is often referred to as a "melting pot" -- a place where people of many different ethnic groups and faiths live together. Because of this mix of people, the country is a more interesting than it would be if everyone were the same.
The 9th Congressional District of Illinois, part of which is in Chicago, is one of the most ethnically varied, or diverse, congressional districts in the country, with Russian, Indian, Polish, Pakistani, Latino, Haitian, and Cambodian people, among others. There is also a lot of religious diversity, with Jews, Muslims, and Christians all living together in their communities.
Many festivals in the 9th District celebrate "Pride in Diversity" and honor the differences between people and what makes us unique as a country.
