ABSTRACT
The unrealized or unconscious intention of Jungian psychology has actually been diversity since its very beginning. Amendments to the constitution and Jim Crow laws and the landmark ruling in Brown v. Board of Education predicted a racial future for America that signaled diversity. There was a promise of freedom everywhere and a lifting of consciousness; with it came the promise of diversity and all the benefits of human rights that segregation had denied Africans and the African diaspora. Once again, in a paradoxical way, C. G. Jung was advocating for diversity, was himself an intellectually diverse thinker, but he failed to commit to the act of diversifying. One of the basic core values of American Jungian psychology is that it must have as its nature the potentiality for being different, for changing its own consciousness, for seeing into its own Shadow.
