Editor’s Perspective: Crossroad
For weeks I’ve struggled with deciding what to write for this column. Should I acknowledge the transition of Dr. R. Roosevelt Thomas, a trailblazer in diversity management and founder of the American Institute for Managing Diversity Inc.?
Or, do I vent my outrage and disappointment over Trayvon Martin’s killer being acquitted and essentially sanctioned an open season to kill?
But, how can I ignore the 50th year of the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom?
Then it occurred to me these issues are connected.
We are a heterogeneous Nation, yet regardless of the color of our skin, we are 99.9% the same — we are one human race, but unfortunately, race is proving to be the USA’s Achilles heel.
Our Nation has made some strides to level the playing field. However, considering the power gained by corporations and the wealthy over the past 30 years, poor and middle class people of all colors clearly must build coalitions if we are to have racial, social, and economic justice.
We are at a crossroad.
“In Germany they first came for the Communists, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn’t speak up because I was a protestant. Then they came for me, and by that time there was nobody left to speak up.” Reverend Martin Niemoller, Germany, 1930’s
Peace!
