There have been numerous marches for minority rights in America’s history: the March on Washington in 1963, the Women’s Suffrage Parade in 1913, the Million Man March in 1995. But those who have dedicated their lives to making sure minorities are treated fairly and equally in this country know their march can’t be confined to a time or place. It exists physically and spiritually, and too often it gets tossed to the side as America tells itself a fairytale about harmony.
Every year, Indiana Minority Business Magazine (IMBM), a sister publication of the Indianapolis Recorder Newspaper, honors those who bring diverse values, backgrounds and abilities for the benefit of consumers and employers. Our Champions of Diversity event, 5:30 p.m. on Jan. 18 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in downtown Indianapolis, formally celebrates those individuals.
