WASHINGTON - March 9 - By mid-century, people of color will be the majority in the United States. A new issue of YES! Magazine shows us ways to get beyond the racism that's haunted us since the founding of the country.

The 34-page feature section of America: The Remix introduces the people who are already writing a new American story that embraces all the cultures and peoples of the United States. From Pennsauken, NJ, to St. Paul, MN, from Austin, TX to Los Angeles, youth activists, labor organizers, urban planners, and just plain folks are putting aside race to work together. They're ready to make our country's diversity our strength.
