from The Legal Lens Podcast · host Angela Reddock-Wright
In this episode of the Legal Lens show, dedicated to Black History Month, we’re spotlighting a crucial and timely theme: the future trajectory of Affirmative Action and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs in the workplace and beyond. Despite strides toward workplace diversity, equity and inclusion, recent challenges have arisen, prompting us to ask: what’s next? I’m thrilled to host Attorney Byron McLain, a white-collar criminal defense lawyer and partner at Foley & Lardner LLP, and a member of the firm’s Racial Justice and Equity Practice Group, as we explore the latest developments surrounding affirmative action and DEI. Byron provides relevant legal insights, along with expectations for future trends. McClain is also a past President of the Langston Bar Association, a group we love and support!
