As we celebrate Martin Luther King, Jr., we remember his vision for a better tomorrow for all people. A tomorrow that embraces diversity in all its form.
The following quotes capture that vision:
“Every nation must now develop an overriding loyalty to mankind as a whole in order to preserve the best in their individual societies.” And again “If we are to have peace on earth, our loyalties must become ecumenical rather than sectional. Our loyalties must transcend our race, our tribe, our class, and our nation; and this means we must develop a world perspective.”
How can I contribute to this vision? #MLKDay2023
Best wishes for a happy & fruitful new year to all our HR professionals!
Let’s continue to work together on embracing & promoting diversity in 2023! #DIVERSITY2023
