LETTER: DNC highlights the value of inclusivity

The tide has turned. For far too long, elements in our country have suppressed the leadership talents of our Black and Brown citizens. But take a new look at our governing bodies, the media and our civil institutions. They are no longer exclusively populated with white men.

Let’s build on this — because we’re not going back.
