The past week has inspired a flurry of corporate responses as companies and unions have pushed to demonstrate their own commitment to diversity, equality, and inclusion as protests over the deaths of Black Americans in police custody have continued to roil in all 50 states. Of those companies, manufacturers have not been silent.
