Cross cultural example in Holland Michigan The Holland Area Arts Council is honoring local African American artists during the month of February 2007, known as Black History Month. This event is one of many recognizing the diversity of Holland, Michigan, historically known as Tulip City founded by Dutch immigrants in the 19th century. This is a clear example of a community DOING what many only talk about.

[edit] Wikipedia needs article on cross-cultural psychology

Recently, I looked for an article in Wikipedia on cross-cultural psychology, and was amazed to find that Wikipedia does not have one. Can I propose that an article on this subject is added to Wikipedia? ACEOREVIVED 19:04, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] article of concern

would people who watch this page please review the article, Early infanticidal childrearing, which makes many claims about anthropology and about non-Western societies? I was once involved in a flame-war with another editor, and it would be inappropriate for me to do a speedy delete or nominate the page for deletion. More important, I think others need to comment on it. I engaged in a detailed exchange recently with one other editor here, on the talk page; you may wish to review the discussion but it is getting involuted and I ask that you comment separately.
