Activity Description:
Create a Public Service Announcement (PSA) script aimed at promoting the importance and value of Ethnic Studies to a general audience. Your PSA should be concise, engaging, and informative, using only the content provided in the unit to support your message.

Purpose of a PSA:
A Public Service Announcement (PSA) is a message designed to raise awareness about an issue and influence public attitudes and behavior towards a more informed and proactive stance. PSAs are typically short, powerful, and meant to reach a wide audience with clear and impactful messages. They are valuable educational tools because they distill complex information into accessible and actionable insights that can prompt societal change.
