Jan. 19 will mark the fifth anniversary of the National Day of Racial Healing, a day to emphasize the need for continued recovery from the painful impact of systemic racism.
Sponsored by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, practical suggestions are offered by leaders in business, education, nonprofit and religious organizations. Their collective impetus is to eliminate apathy and propel momentum toward overcoming racial inequities.
The Kellogg Foundation’s research indicates, “Businesses with a more diverse workforce have been shown to have more customers, higher revenues and profits, greater market share, less absenteeism and turnover, and a higher level of employee and customer commitment to their organizations.”
