    Having an honor bestowed to the company for their outreach program to Aftican-Americans and at the same time (possibley) discriminating in their employee base are 2 different things. One can do a good thing on the outside and have a mess at home.

    Wasn't Lilly founded by a Confederate soldier?

    What does that have to do with anything? That is similar to saying that Volkswagen is run by Nazis....
