Let's Tell the Story of All America's Cultures

In the short story, Let’s Tell the Story of All America’s

Cultures by Ji-Yeon Mary Yuhfill, is about a young
talking how she only learned about the white people in
American history. In other words, she tells on in her story
how minorities are left out of the history book and that we
never hear about them. She talks about how it was not
taught about the different cultures that shaped America to
what it is today. Also, she talked about historical figures
not mentioned in the text books that inspired and help
mold our country. When she was insulted by other
students telling her that she should go back to where she
came from. It was believed by her that she was not an
American even though she was American. It talks about
how educators notice that history of America needs to
include all American history and embrace the
multicultural education. Telling all the history with the
good and the bad of how America was shaped by the
different cultures that fought for freedom. The author
says, “E pluribus unum” which means “Out of many,
one” (Ji-Yeon, p. 522). She is proud that she is Korean
descent even to her tormentors that they are all American
despite the different culture backgrounds. She believes
that America is a unique beauty and that we should be
proud that we live in America.
I enjoy this story because I was always fascinated by the
different cultures that live in our country. The story was a
good read and it shows the impact it makes on other
students with different cultural backgrounds. It shows the
importance to know the all and the true history of
America. I love how patriotic it is because this country
was founded on the foundation of different beliefs and
cultures. It has a strong ending with the education system
making changes to teach multicultural education of the
American history because it is America. The ending
paragraph of the story is impacting and very patriotic.
