Kenn, I owe you an apology.  Obviously, I jumped to a conclusion.  To me, your post had the smell of another government funded program with a "Diversity" tag.
 
Don't know what the answer is to get the "non-white" population involved.  If all you see is smiling white faces during your lectures and outings, maybe you're in the wrong community or park.  I don't know, just a thought.  To be fair, what motivates anyone to be interested in nature and conservation.  It's not as if white folks are born with a pair of binoculars around their neck and a field guide in their back pocket.
 
Heck of a way to get the conversation going.  Sorry for the hassle.
 
Jen S.
