Economic and social equity are not only a moral imperative. They also are critical for the economic future of the nation. The majority of Americans soon will be people of color, and the fate of the country hinges on how we respond to and invest in that change. How can equity advocates demonstrate that just, fair inclusion is the key to compete effectively in a diverse, interconnected world? Join a fascinating discussion that reframes the case for equity. Moderator Angela Glover Blackwell; Panelists: Antonio Gonzalez, Geoff Canada, Shaun Donovan, Joan Walsh and Manuel Pastor
