Kwame Anthony Appiah is ranked #5 on the list of the most cited Black scholars in the humanities.

A multicultural education should be one that leaves you not only knowing and loving what is good in the traditions of your own sub-culture but also understanding and appreciating the traditions of others (and also critically rejecting the worst of all traditions). The principle of selection is clear: we should try to teach about those traditions that have been important to American history. This means that we begin with Native American and Protestant Dutch and English and African and Iberian cultures, adding voices to the story as they were added to the nation. – Kwame Anthony Appiah, “Beware of Race Pride,” The American Enterprise, September 1995.
