Dr. Samuel Betances is a professor of sociology at Northeastern Illinois University in Chicago. He has lectured and published extensively in areas related to diversity, social change, gender and race relations, demographic changes, and the impact of the global economy on group relations in the United States.

People laugh as they learn how to make coalitions of interest instead of coalitions of color.
The response to Dr. Betances' powerful presentation on diversity at last year's conference was overwhelmingly positive. Those who attended strongly recommended that we invite him back to further advance our understanding of this issue of vital concern to our society. He has taught at the elementary and high school levels. As a professional actor, he has worked on the stage, in films, and television.
