Fernando Salinas, Chief Talent and Inclusion Officer at Bristol Myers Squibb, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Today, we come together across the United States to honor the profound legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a leader whose vision for inclusion and peace continues to inspire us all.
On this day, I feel compelled to pause and truly reflect on the depth of his teachings – reminders that resonate even more powerfully during these turbulent times around the world. Dr. King challenged us to see peace not as “merely the absence of tension,” but as a presence of justice, dignity, and a true sense of belonging for every person. His words are a beacon, guiding us to recognize that every individual is worthy of respect, value, and empowerment. We each have a vital role to play, not only in our workplaces and communities, but in shaping a kinder, more just world.
At Bristol Myers Squibb, we cherish the richness that different perspectives bring, and we know that purposeful collaboration is the key to understanding, progress, and meaningful outcomes. By ensuring that every voice is welcomed, we embody Dr. King’s dream and actively breathe life into his legacy.
Let us honor Dr. King not just in word, but in action – by choosing empathy over judgment, seeking connection rather than division, and finding the courage to step beyond our comfort zones. Together, we can continue building a workplace and a world where inclusion is not only an aspiration, but a living, breathing reality for all. Today, and every day, may we walk in Dr. King’s footsteps and strive to create a better future.”
