Corporate America has a diversity problem. Efforts to change that are under attack.
This summer, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down affirmative action in higher education.
That means colleges and universities can no longer consider a student applicant’s race when building their student bodies.
The decision was a victory for Edward Blum, the legal activist who founded Students for Fair Admissions.
The organization won the landmark case it brought against Harvard University and the University of North Carolina.
Now, Blum and other conservative legal firms have set their sights on diversity efforts in corporate America.
1A discusses the legal challenges against venture capital funds, law firm fellowships, and federal contracting programs that all aim to uplift Black professionals and businesses.

Sound Ideas #368B - A Fresh Take on a Proven Concept
Jazz is a continual music reinvention of the past and present with an eye to the future. It does not matter the date, if you listen to enough conversations you will hear someone declare that jazz is dead and there is nothing more that can be said.
To that I respond with this hour of music, freshly created and released over the past few months, in defiance of the notion that jazz has run out of things to say.
