THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOMBy Ron SweeneyRon SweeneyI’m happy that Universal, Warner, and Sony Music want to donate money to support the Black Lives Matter movement.  But what the Movement needs is meaningful change, not window dressing.  Address the elephant in the room.  Why is it that Black music generates millions and millions of dollars a year and yet none of the companies have a meaningful number of employees of color, let alone in the executive suite?  The few employees there work only Black music.  Minority employees are virtually non-existent in many other areas of the company.
