Corporate Diversity and Responses to the Black Lives Matter Movement – A Look Back
Over a year after the murder of George Floyd and the rapid rise of the Black Lives Matter movement, we reflect on how large corporations have – or have not – adapted to changing expectations. Within the bounds of the legal system, George Floyd’s murder was acknowledged with his murderer’s conviction and the erection of a statue where he passed, along with a large settlement to his family. However, we have not seen the same justice or recognition from the corporate world. We continue to follow the successes and challenges of the business landscape as they make changes to the way they operate and interact with diversity.
