Ken Frazier and Ken Chenault said companies retreating from DEI will limit equal opportunities for disadvantaged Americans.

Ken Frazier grew up in a poor Philadelphia neighborhood as the son of a janitor and grandson of a man born into slavery. He rose to the heights of corporate America as CEO of Merck from 2011 to 2021, becoming the first Black chief executive of a major pharmaceutical company.

That wasn’t merit. It was just the way Merck always did it — then I would not have had a chance.
