Diversity

Opportunity Quotes

“All Men are Created Equal, but Treated Unequal systematically by zip code and other non-natural screening processes to Equal Opportunity.” ― Dean L. Jones

"In order to form a more perfect Union -- all communities have to produce, pledge, provide, and promote greater quality Opportunities." ― Dean L. Jones

Socioeconomic Development Quote

"Instantly recognizable diverse supplier management draws on empathetic practices implementing unbiased socioeconomic community development programs."

- Dean L. Jones

Supplier Equity Quotes

"Public/Private sector supplier diversity programs have unhelpfully disintegrated specific segments our US Citizenry [DBE - LGBTIQBE - MBE - SBE - SDVBE - WBE ...]." - Dean L. Jones

"Becoming accustomed and putting into practice supplier equity principles will serve to broaden business relations that are essential toward perfecting a free enterprise economy."
- Dean L. Jones

FREEDOM IS NOT ENOUGH

"Freedom is not enough. You do not wipe away the scars of centuries by saying: Now you are free to go where you want, and do as you desire, and choose the leaders you please...Thus it is not enough just to open the gates of opportunity. All of our citizens must have the ability to walk through these gates.
This is the next step and more profound stage of the battle for civil rights. We seek not just legal equity but human ability, not just equality but human ability, not just equality as a right and a theory but equality as a fact and equality as a result."
36th U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson
June 4, 1965 - Howard University
