we are the party of inclusion and opportunity. and we make sure inclusion and opportunity is in every zip code for e. you know 50 years ago, dr. king gave a speech right here in atlanta where he asked a simple but critical question, where do we go from here? how do we fight for shared values and continue our march for jobs and justice and fill this nation's promise for inclusion for e. the democratic party is asking that same question. where do we go from here? because we have to face the facts. we are suffering from a crisis of confidence and crisis of relevance. we need a chair who can not only take the fight to donald trump and make sure we talk about our positive message of inclusion and talk to the democratic party. and we need a chair that can lead turn-around and lead the culture of the democratic party and d.n.c. culture change has a number of dimensions and all of them are essential. we must redefine the hole of the d.n.c. so we aren't just electing a president but working to elect from the school board to the nat in all

i have seen the power of inclusion not only in my own home, in my community, in our schools. i have seen it strengthen other students. just last week one of my son's classmates from fifth grade reached out because he had seen the coverage of the hearing concerning mrs. devos' nomination. he said in an e-mail to me, you know, i don't remember much about fifth grade, but i do remember having lunch with ben. and i remember even now ben's lighthearted disposition. what a lesson for our children to learn that even if you have severe and debilitating physical disabilities that prevent you from speaking or typing or walking or eating in a typical way, you can be lighthearted and love your life. there are always challenges connected to including new students with different learning styles, different behaviors, but because of idea we have learned how to help those students cope and learn and adjust their behavior. and for anybody to suggest that it is the fault of people with disabilities, that it is their disability that is undermining our education is appalling. various groups who r

inclusion act and in further entitlements at chinese and korean students and whereas the asian-american figure out discriminates in the 1818 successfully challenged other chinese children and whereas shortly after following the case in the same year sunbathed schools were approved by the assembly bill for children with their migration of white children and led to the segregation the white school and legal challenges with the so 02 walling even callahan they petitioned for his 12-year-old daughter to attend the public school on al gore student instead of the segregated oriental school and whereas the city lay in ruins with the aftermath of the 1906 san francisco earthquake the policy passed restricting children of china's and japanese and corp. to the oriental school and when the same year the board of education decided to the oak family that protested the perusal to immoral the 12-year-old child the james government lodged a formal complaint with the u.s. ambassador that was a violation of the 1894 japanese treated of the non- school policy for japanese immigrants to the u.s. those acti

there is another reason that diversity inclusion is so important, and that goes beyond the university itself, which is that universities does not exist in isolation to exist in a societal context and it exists in history. it's no surprise to anyone that the history of really all countries but the very, particularly this country, has an enormous amount of exclusionary behavior built into its history. we have, therefore, a dual obligation, an obligation as fulfilling our own mission and bringing those diverse perspectives to bear in a nondisclosure and a. but we also have an obligation as an important member of society to deal with the particular history of this country and the exclusionary aspects that a been involved in it. and i think neil articulated the meaning of ssa very nicely in terms of doing that, from the point of view of ssa's concrete mission, but i think the university as a whole itself has an obligation in that direction. now, some people have argued that these two issues are in conflict to some extent, that academic freedom and free expression on one hand, and diversity

some people have argued that academic freedom and free expression and diversity and inclusion on the other hand are in conflict. saying there is no tension between them would be disingenuous. saying there is an underlying conflict between them is something i actually do not believe. i believe they're mutually reinforcing but one needs to recognize there are things that need to be worked out. anything less than an aspiration to fully embrace both of these values is failing ourselves as an institution. the discussion tonight i am sure will look at these issues in considerably more details that both neil and i have given them. i think the reason we are able to have such discussion goes back to what neil was saying, the power and importance of open discourse and rigorous analysis and free expression. i just want to again thank neil, think the faculty here at ssa for organizing this and i am sure you are going to have a fascinating evening. thank you very much. >> my name is gina samuels and i will be the moderator this evening. i will take several roles that i will explain in just a mome

workforces, and inclusive content that you create, so diversity and inclusion goes hand in hand withuzzword in management school at the moment, diversity, how to feel diversity in an organisation. why is it so important? there are so many studies that show when you have more inclusive workforces and cos it benefits both economic play and socially. those companies which are more diverse tend to be those which are more financially stable and successful. it is a buzzword because it is common business sense. it is not for altruistic reasons, it is business sense. if you have to sell a brand to consumers in any country you need to reflect your consumers in the advertising content you create and in the workplace. being called an influential black person, does it annoy you that that is still a label? it is not something that annoys me, it is something ifind embarrassing but brilliant. but it is something that is important because i know when i was growing up in reading! because i know when i was growing up in reading i did not have many role models. my role models were immediate family and

so that when we say we are inclusive, we reform the party to be inclusive, so everybody has access to be decision-makers. we have millions of people marching in the streets that we need to take advantage of. we need to be able to pull them in. to do that we need to accept that in the 21st century the way we have been doing business no longer works. we have to find a new path forward. we have to find an innovative and resilient way of keeping up with the fast-paced world and the new ways people communicate. more people in this country voting are millennials than any other group of people. and we have to -- we have to go out and ask them how it is done. we have to be willing to learn. in order to do that, that means we need to listen. the focal point of this campaign has been about listening to each other. and with the regime that has taken over the country, we are going to have to empathize, move into our hearts, and listen to what the people of our country and party want. and so as you deliberate, as you make this important decision, i ask for you to take a moment before you hit the b

building vuong teams and embracing diversity and inclusion are key elements of success. diversity may be viewed as cliche but i believe getting to know, working with, bee fending and including people who are different from ourselves is enriching and expanding, and if we model it ourselves how much easier will it be to encourage students to do the same. in addition to modeling inclusion, and a love of lifelong learning, the the department has a unique role protecting students. we believe students deserve learning environments that foster innovation and curiosity and are also free from harm. i'm committed to working with you to make this the case.

concrete floors for women's inclusion shapes strategy. one of the most interesting strategies for us is that if there is a concrete floor that is relatively high, you can use that floor to leverage the next selector. one of the things we found, if you can exact a promise, from the prime minister or the president, that he or she will appoint at least a higher number and in many cases just make them promise to appoint a gender parity cabinet, selectors do that. and this is the unusual interesting thing about cabinet formation, quite different than, for example, being elected to parliament. the selector is fully empowered, to select and there is a range of qualified and eligible persons from whom you do not need to choose a large number. there have virtually no veto players, certainly not formally and few informally. this means that a selector who promises to appoint, for example, a gender parity cabinet, can do so and increasingly there is no penalty for doing so. in this regard, we need to pay attention to the ways in which gender might --

the concrete floor is important because it establishes women's inclusion in the representational criteriaare used to form cabinets. concrete floors with established in silence arguments about quote merit. where concrete floor has been stop his claims that sex-based representational criteria are not meritorious begin to diminish the concrete floors exist for province in canada, the provinces of selecting category, for coalition partner in coalition governments. these provoke little opposition but when it comes to appointed limits to cabinet, concrete floors provoke discussions of merit. once the floors begin to rise, arguments about this person is not meritorious begin to disappear. in fact, we think about the concrete floor as recasting arguments about merit and cabinet appointments, not as about merit but rather as a form of tactics or strategies in a political struggle over political representation, and women's inclusion in government. we anticipate as numbers of women appointed increase and are confirmed as concrete floors, arguments about merit will diminish your excitedly come concre
