In actuality, this world existed only fifty years ago. In a time of extreme racial discrimination, African Americans fought and struggled toward one of many goals: to integrate schools. As a pioneer in the South, a man named James Meredith took a courageous step by applying to the University of Mississippi, an all white university.

It demonstrates to young readers that love is not only a romantic item but also a strong connection between two people who care for eachother. The overall theme of the book can be summarized by a single quote: "If you have no intention of loving or being loved, then the whole journey is pointless." Edward reminds older readers that love can still be coming for them. An overall message from the book emphasizes how bitterness can change your life.

    In the past, many universities and other large organizations focused on the majority of the population for both its workforce and student clientele. Recently, whether because of the self-seeking need to increase the client-base or from the moral perspective that equal opportunity applies to both employees and students, educational facilities have moved away from appealing to the typical college student and faculty. Attention has shifted to broaden the scope to all who desires a higher education and faculty that demonstrate the competency to teach the students. Diversity in higher education means providing equal opportunities regardless of race, gender, religious preferences, and sexual orientation for both students and staff. Following is an example of the diverse population of WGU students and staff.
