It is the policy of the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) that it demonstrate sensitivity to the concerns of people of color and they be represented on all Council-sponsored programs, and that a similar policy be urged on affiliated organizations (conferences, assemblies, and affiliates). To this end, the following actions are to be undertaken: (1) to include people of color on all appointed commissions, boards, committees, task forces, and other official groups; (2) to include people of color among the leadership of the above groups; (3) to include people of color among the nominees presented by each nominating committee; (4) to include in NCTE conventions and workshops sessions dealing with interests of people of color and using as leaders or consultants practicing teachers of color from the levels of instruction concerned; and (5) to include people of color in verbal and visual materials intended to represent or describe NCTE.
