“The work being done at the Respect Diversity Foundation is critical to the future of Oklahoma . . . to express the need for tolerance and understanding through art and poetry.”
First Lady Kim Henry, Oklahoma
“The work you are doing with your Fun Runs Program is both important and inspiring. Pairing students with mental and/or physical disabilities with non-special needs buddies is one more way of integrating people into our society who are often forgotten. Not only are you promoting a healthy lifestyle, but you are also providing a powerful message about diversity and tolerance. It is so important that every person feel included and part of our great state.”
Former Governor Frank Keating
“The Anti-Defamation League recognizes and applauds the work of the Respect Diversity Foundation. The Respect Diversity Symbol Campaign invites people to combine imagination and understanding in creating art and poetry that emphasizes the value of diversity. In doing so, your message reaches others and reinforces that diversity implores respect, not prejudice.”
Caryl Stern-LaRosa,
Education Division Director
“I know you have touched many a life with the story of the Holocaust. We can never permit an event like this again and you are helping! Keep speaking out about respect and tolerance.”
Lieutenant Governor Mary Fallin
“The Respect Diversity Symbol Exhibit at Omniplex is a model initiative. It will make an important contribution to promote understanding that the diversity of people in our state and country is what makes us great. I applaud your efforts to promote peace and harmony.”
Former Governor Frank Keating
“I commend the Respect Diversity Foundation for promoting acceptance of diversity, community-building, peace and understanding throughout our great state. Sending civil rights leaders, Holocaust speakers, authors, artists, musicians and other educators into schools to supplement the curriculum is a wonderful endeavor.”
Former Governor Frank Keating
