More and more our world, our cities, our communities are becoming more and more diverse. Kicking off this month, Black History Month, and wrapping up with Hispanic Heritage Month from September 15 – October 15, digital cable platforms, like On Demand, are featuring special programming that celebrates the diverse cultures around us with Diversity on Demand, a new initiative to support multi-culturalism.
“The cable industry recognizes its responsibility and privilege to use the reach, power and influence of television, Internet and mobile apps to spotlight important issues,” said Char Beales, president and CEO, Cable & Telecommunications Association for Marketing (CTAM).
To kick-off Diversity On Demand, cable channels are celebrating Black History Month, providing digital cable customers access to shows about African American history, food, and more. Several biographies on “famous” figures, such as Bill Cosby, Thurgood Marshall, and others will also be available on Video On Demand through mid-March. You can find Diversity on Demand programming on many of your favorite cable channels, including Discovery, HBO, and NBC.
Make sure you visit the Diversity on Demand Facebook Page for more show and programming details, and participating channels. You’ll also find more activities, links to trailers, contests, and ways to interact with other Diversity on Demands fans.

February 3, 2012 at 12:09 pmI was raised in a household (Christian) where diversity was not only shunned, when I tried to have friends of other cultures, it presented problems. I had to keep those friendships “secret”. I had ugly things said to me by my parents because of my friendships with people of different cultures. No one should do that to their children and I do my best to make sure my boys understand and respect diversity.

February 3, 2012 at 7:53 pmThe only way I could explain diversity to my little guy was telling him it is like a rainbow. You need all the colors to make it beautiful and right. It just wouldn’t be a rainbow if it was only one color.

There will always be differences in opinion, but we need to respect each other no matter what!
