The implementation of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) measures is based on the premise that black people are innately incapable of the same achievement as other races, Kevin McGary, chairman of the Frederick Douglass Foundation of California and co-founder of Every Black Life Matters, said on an episode of EpochTV’s “Bay Area Innovators.”

McGary sat down with host Steve Ispas to discuss the origin and development of DEI and its impact on the future.
