Summary: Accountability is a source of power, and activism is an obligation, according to MIT Sloan alumnus Bruce Gordon, SF '88, former president and CEO of the NAACP and longtime telecom executive. In an inspiring talk before MIT Sloan students as part of the Dean's Innovative Leader Series, Gordon said the disparity in society between those who have and those who don't is growing every day. Calling the executive suite an under-utilized source of power for social change, he urged MIT Sloan students to go out and make a difference. "Think about your individual capacity to effect change in this country, if not the world," he said.
