“Burns’ hire is inspirational and very strategic. With Pres. Obama’s seat at the highest table, it has now become prudent and most practical to allow one’s best and brightest to shine. This move is an example of how affirmative action can really work to positively affect change. All we ever need is just an opportunity. Also, much kudos to Mulcahy (the former CEO of Xerox) for demonstrating the power of ongoing support for Black leadership in business. Back to back now has another meaning besides its usage in basketball!”
