a. Teachers providing supplemental materials to provide a narrative for cultures not represented in the text
b. Librarians stocking the shelves with multicultural literature that reflects the cultural and racial composition of the neighborhood
c. Students dressed as Pilgrims and Indians while participating in a mock Thanksgiving celebration
d. Superintendents advocating for heterogeneous grouping in classrooms
C Correct Answer: Students dressed as Pilgrims and Indians while participating in a mock Thanksgiving celebration

Celebrating Thanksgiving without acknowledging the damage done to indigenous people preserves this notion and continues cultural racism.
