The killing of Trayvon Martin, an innocent Black teenager who was wearing a hoodie, was February 26, 2012. Media focused on the use of the hoodie by a Black child to justify this tragic death. This type of imagery and wording continues the practice of dehumanization of Black children, and multinational corporations are still complicit in this.

In his conclusion, he offers some recommendations so multinational corporations can shift to truly making progress regarding racial equity. <\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
