POC in Charge, NYTimes Article Hello Gang. A few weeks ago Manny Oso came across a great piece from The New York Times by a team a of journalist that put together a list of the 922 most powerful people in America. The article puts faces to people who are apart of the industries that make our world go round. The list includes, CEOs of huge companies, owners of your favorite sport teams, policy makers and policy enforcers and so many more! Here is the part that doesn’t surprise anyone, 80% of these people in power are White. Now that we can see where the chips actually fall, how many of these people do you identify with? Manny asks the listeners to look around their homes and see how the list of 25 Highest Valued Companies is basically scattered around them. Nicky’s reaction over the 25 Highest Values Fasion Companies was less than warming. She mentions how it is amazing that not only are there only 3 People Of Color, but only 4 women. She sees this trend across the article. The article doesn’t tell you anything you don’t know. It’s not a surprise when you see that out of the 99 owners of professional sports teams, only 6 are POC. Even though the majority of the players are POC. Does putting faces to these powerful position change anything for you?
