Abstract

Three years after the murder of George Floyd, we find ourselves at a pivotal moment in the fight to advance equity and systemic change towards racial justice in the US. The Supreme Court's decision last year on affirmative action dealt a significant blow to equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) efforts, with thousands of EDI executives leaving or losing their jobs (Chen & Weber, 2023).
