Abstract
Two decades after affirmative action became law, progress on increasing diversity in the U.S. workplace--particularly beyond the entry level--is mixed. On one hand, people of color make up a larger percentage of senior managers than at any point in the past. On the other hand, many people of color still struggle with the closed doors of institutional racism. For its 75th anniversary issue, HBR asked a group seldom heard from in the media--executives of color--to address the central questions on race and work in the United States: How far has American business come? Is there reason for optimism? Which programs work and which fail? Who is primarily responsible for bringing about advances in diversity? And what does the future hold?
