Abstract: Abstract The concept of diversity has its origins in the US civil rights movement, which fought against racism against people of colour. Diversity thus initially stood for the creation of equal opportunities for groups who are disadvantaged according to certain characteristics. In the USA, this resulted in the Anti-Discrimination Act and the Affirmative Action to promote disadvantaged groups according to the criteria of race, gender, skin colour, ethnic origin, age, disability or religion. The civil rights movement of the USA had a great influence on the development of further social movements of previously disadvantaged and discriminated groups, e.g. B. on the movement of the Native Americans.
