Goldman Sachs Foundation President Asahi Pompey explains the importance of creating long-term systemic change for equality in the wake of the Black Lives Matter movement.

Video Transcript

ASAHI POMPEY: You know, I think we've got to translate this moment into a movement. I hope it's not a false dawn, right, and I think that in order to make sure that we really seize upon this generational opportunity, we have to use it to create policies, procedures, greater access to capital, greater access to network, greater advocacy, greater education. That really has multigenerational impact. So what I'd say to your question, Julie, is I'm optimistic, but I know that it's a journey. And we've got to say persistent and committed to really see long-lasting change and not a false dawn.
