Description

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 The result of the civil unrest in Watts in 1965 was the National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders, which in a report released in 1967 largely blamed White racism and indifference for the despair plaguing African Americans.
#2 Following passage of the Voting Rights Act, federal examiners swept into Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Georgia, where they added thousands of voters to the rolls. By 1970, about 66 percent of African Americans in the Deep South were registered and able to vote.
#3 Despite the passage of civil rights legislation in the 1960s, which was aimed at the South, northern Whites resisted efforts to integrate schools and housing closer to home.
#4 The slow pace of change has sparked calls for institutional soul-searching and a renewed commitment to diversity. In 2018, the law firm Shearman Sterling hired its first-ever chief diversity officer.

#1

The result of the civil unrest in Watts in 1965 was the National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders, which in a report released in 1967 largely blamed White racism and indifference for the despair plaguing African Americans.

#2

Following passage of the Voting Rights Act, federal examiners swept into Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Georgia, where they added thousands of voters to the rolls. By 1970, about 66 percent of African Americans in the Deep South were registered and able to vote.

#3

Despite the passage of civil rights legislation in the 1960s, which was aimed at the South, northern Whites resisted efforts to integrate schools and housing closer to home.

#4

The slow pace of change has sparked calls for institutional soul-searching and a renewed commitment to diversity. In 2018, the law firm Shearman Sterling hired its first-ever chief diversity officer.

#5

There is little evidence that many are willing to accept the challenge of becoming more diverse. Many supposedly liberal and elite institutions maintain racial custom and tradition in their hiring practices until they are publicly shamed or otherwise coerced into diversifying their ranks.

#6

In 2019, two iconic fashion world labels - Gucci and Prada - announced the creation of diversity initiatives after an outcry over designs that resembled blackface.

#7

The criticism of Spayd did not win her many friends at the Times, and in July 2017 the paper disbanded its public editor role, calling it outdated.

#8

In Hollywood, the Oscar nominees for two consecutive years have been all White.

#9

While there have been advances in race relations and the number of minorities in tech, there is still a long way to go. The underrepresentation of minorities in tech has fueled tension and headlines.

#10

The quest for racial diversity has long been an uphill battle, but today it is faced with a more polarized climate in which many Whites claim that they are being disenfranchised as others are given undue advantage.

#11

While many lament the decline of White men in the workplace, the fact is that this is primarily due to the advancement of White women. While all women are underrepresented, White women are disproportionately so.
