Juneteenth: Is DEI Dead?

The United States is preparing to celebrate the actual end of slavery. On June 19, 1865, enslaved people in Texas were finally told the 13th Amendment, marking the end of slavery, was passed months early. It is an uncomfortable celebration since slavery has continued in one form or another since. So, today's podcast explores efforts to end racist behavior in the workplace called DEIA. Though efforts to build one America resonates back to the Clinton Administration, only one-third of S&P 500 companies have DEIA efforts, and many states are preventing the DEIA in publicly funded institutions.
