Highlights from Day 4
"Most corporations haven't been as forward thinking about these issues as they should have been. Many corporations were focusing on not being discriminatory. But that's different from saying we recognize racial inequality is an issue in our society and we are going to take steps to address this." - Dedrick Asante-Muhammad, NCRC
"I do not believe there is a shortage of talent when it comes to people of color. I know there are hundreds of thousands of people just like me out there. The question becomes, how are you, as the leader of your organization, ensuring that the hiring process is equitable?"
- KimArie Yowell, Rock Central
“It's really important that we use cross-sector collaboration to address economic inequities in our community.” -
Catherine Crosby, City of Toledo, Ohio
“That social capital deficit that is felt by entrepreneurs especially in the Black and Brown community is something we’re intentionally trying to solve for.” - Marisa Calderon, NCRC
