“Discourse with civility is an important cornerstone of our profession and our country. Today we are in unusually divisive times where harsh words and rhetoric seem to increasingly lead to discord and violence. When statements and actions are laced with hate, racism and bigotry, we must speak out and denounce such statements and actions. We must also reaffirm our commitment to our values of diversity, inclusivity, tolerance and respect for all. Nothing will deter us from these goals.”
Donald Clark, Jr., Chairman, and Butler Snow Executive Committee
