Fairness and equality means that what you are never limits who you can be. It means that a young African-American man like my father can start a business with $500 and a dream. It means that a young African-American woman like my mother can walk into European fashion houses with her head held high and be treated with respect.

My family has always made Chicago our home, and I care deeply about the values our company has espoused for decades.

We know in our hearts that none of us get ahead when some of us are stuck with second-class status.

Linda Johnson Rice Quotes
