The Winters Group, Inc., Presents Annual Racial Justice at Work Summit With the Theme 'Justice for All'

CHARLOTTE, NC / ACCESSWIRE / March 21, 2024 / With the recent Supreme Court decisions on reproductive rights and affirmative action, more than half the states passing laws restricting the teaching of racism and other issues related to systemic inequality, and this being a polarizing election year, those feeling the backlash against diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts need a place to gather and find support. That place is the Racial Justice at Work Summit: Justice for All.
