TED Talk Tuesday: Color Blind or Color Brave?
11:30 AM - 12:30 PM
Simons 136

The subject of race can be very touchy. As finance executive Mellody Hobson says, it's a "conversational third rail." But, she says, that's exactly why we need to start talking about it. In this engaging, persuasive talk, Hobson makes the case that speaking openly about race — and particularly about diversity in hiring — makes for better businesses and a better society. This discussion will be moderated by CSB President Mary Dana Hinton.
