Abstract	This paper addresses the need to inform all students of the importance of multicultural issues and the impact that cultural diversity will have on global society and offers a model that examines the problematic issue of incorporating a multicultural curriculum into what has been termed "traditional curriculum." The author develops the criteria needed for cultural totality in curricula and examines various social determinants that significantly impact curriculum development as it relates to the historical racism as a social deterrent to a culturally enriched curriculum. In addition, the paper highlights specific techniques and strategies for infusing culturally diverse materials into curricula that are currently being used to assist all students to become better-informed citizens and to understand the rich history and culture of various diverse groups in the United States and globally.
