Diversity Now!

Luke Visconti, keynote speaker for the Skanner's 21st annual Martin Luther King Jr. Breakfast, said the key to a thriving economy is the inclusion of people of color into corporate America. Businesses that establish a high level of racial diversity tend to be more successful than companies who do not, he said. In his rousing speech, Visconti called upon policy makers to be more inclusive of differences, more attentive to Iraqi civilian deaths and to quickly rebuild New Orleans.
