FROM CIVIL RIGHTS TO THE BOARDROOM - Walk the Talk

The genesis of the civil rights movement in the ‘60s was based on the mantra Walk the Talk.  These three words were a thunderous voice from black, and many white, and female Americans.  Three simple words defined the drive for equality in America.

• If we are equal, our schools should be equal.
• If we are equal, I should be able to live in the same neighborhood.
• 
  

  If we are equal, my child should be able to play at the same arenas your child does.
• 
  
• If we are equal, I should be able to get the same job.
  
• If we are equal, I should be making the same amount of money.
• If we are equal, I should not have to pay more for insurance. 

If we are equal, treat us with dignity and respect.

The mantra has transitioned to the corporate world. Three simple words born from the same desire for self-worth.

§        If you value us, pay us a livable wage.

§        If you value us, give us time with our family.

§        If you value us, tell us the strategy so we can help.

§        If you value us, educate us.

§        If you value us, educate yourselves.

If you value us, treat us with dignity and respect.
