 MILWAUKEE (AP) - When NAACP officials began grading corporations operating in the U.S. on racial diversity nine years ago, they had hoped companies would show steady gains each year.
But the latest report released Monday indicates many of the 55 companies analyzed seem to be stagnating, with most earning virtually the same grades as last year — an indication some businesses are not making much effort to improve, said Dennis C. Hayes, interim president of the civil rights group.
The report is "a measuring tool upon which consumers can rely to make informed choices about where to spend their dollars," Hayes said. "It is meant to serve as a catalyst for positive change."
