As a child growing up in Louisiana during the 1960's, Dr. Myrtle P. Bell experienced racism, and how to effectively deal with it. In this episode, you'll hear how her mother & aunt creatively broke the color barrier at a "whites only" laundromat, how the University of Notre Dame refused to allow institutional racism, and how these instances and many others shaped the life of Dr. Bell and the lessons she shares with others today. DBJ Managing Editor Rob Schneider profiles Dr. Bell, author of "Diversity in Organizations", the first research-based book on diversity, written over a decade ago.
