The Power of Songs & Social Justice
BY DR. DAVID WHITFIELD |
 |
| I believe now is the time to create a world of social justice for women and girls, the children, the working poor, the houseless, the voiceless, the abused, and the different.
Why is social justice important to me? Because I believe in meeting the challenges of extending liberty, equity, freedom, and justice for all. If we do not, everyone suffers, because as Martin Luther King said, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”

Dear Diversity@Work:
