SIDELIGHTS:

Dennis L. Morrison told CA: "As a specialist in multiculturalism, I am concerned that students learn more than just the 'great white man' part of history. My dual majors were black history and women's history. As a white man, I feel it is my duty to tell 'all of the story' when discussing the history of our great country."
