He asked, “When do I know that I have achieved diversity and created a work environment where everybody feels good about work?” I quickly responded, “Never!” He then asked for clarification, and that response took a little more time.

The other day my husband and I decided to try out a new restaurant. I called around noon for a 6 pm reservation. There was... |
