As conversations around diversity, equity, and inclusion face growing resistance, many are asking: Are we seeing echoes of the pre–Civil Rights workplace?

This panel, featuring the wisdom and lived experiences of the Delta Dears, will examine the parallels between past and present. Together, we will reflect on the struggles that shaped our history, explore how current challenges threaten hard-won gains, and discuss how advocacy, resilience, and legacy can ensure progress continues for generations to come.
