Inclusion: Mohammad Ali
Earlier this week I attended a diversity meeting where we discussed the purpose of ending the "isms" (i.e., racism, sexism etc.). I believe we are still in the infancy of true diversity awareness, training and living. And, as I watch the celebration of Muhammad Ali's life, it is full of highlights that suggest Muhammad Ali was ahead of most of our diversity training programs of today. The interfaith service and individual stories being told portray a person who embraced diversity and demonstrated inclusion while serving humanity.
Muhammad Ali was born as Cassius Marcellus Clay, Jr. on January 17, 1942 and passed away on June 3, 2016.
