Ballroom East SUMMARY:Public Affairs Conference - Majority norms and minority communities DESCRIPTION:Throughout America’s history\, the shared norms that our free society was said to require were those consistent with majoritarian norms \, to which minority communities were expected to adapt. As the nation ha s grown more diverse\, it seems clear that the older understanding demand ed too much\, that the necessary shared norms are not nearly as expansive as once thought. It remains true\, however\, that departures from majori tarian norms are often met with resistance and condemnation. How can we e nsure that the “pursuit of happiness” is meaningful to all citizens\, esp ecially racial\, ethnic\, sexual\, religious and ideological minorities?      X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<html><head><title></title></head><body><p><s pan>Throughout America&rsquo\;s history\, the shared norms that our free society was said to require were those consistent with majoritarian norms \, to which minority communities were expected to adapt.
