马丁・路德・金纪念日感言
By Monica Garnes, President of Fry's Food Stores and Executive Chair of Kroger's DE&I Advisory Council
当我回顾马丁・路德・金博士的事业时，他突出公民权利和经济权利重要性的热情、承诺和勇气激励着我。他善于用语言展示所有人类的内在价值以及团结一致的美国的好处，这不仅引起了非裔美国人的共鸣，也引起了所有美国人的共鸣。
I am also inspired to consider how can we carry these ideas into the future. Full equality still needs to be realized. Each of us plays a role in creating an environment -in the community, government, businesses, everywhere -that is welcoming and a place where every person can thrive and participate.
Kroger 有机会成为实施和拥抱强大的多元化、公平和包容框架的领导者，成为其他公司的榜样。通过有意识地专注于多元化和包容这两个价值观，我们可以帮助重塑统一的工作场所对我们每个人意味着什么。
与任何运动的进展方式类似，这需要我们所有人共同努力，产生影响，并将这一变革不仅带到 Kroger，还带到我们的社会和整个国家。
马丁・路德・金纪念日是纪念他不平凡一生和成就的日子，但他如此热情奋斗的事业是我们需要在一年的每一天都关注的事情。我邀请大家与我一同踏上这段旅程。

In thinking about how Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s life influences my own, I think about how, with great passion and personal sacrifice, he taught a message of service to others while advocating for civil rights for all.
每年，我都会带家人参观位于田纳西州孟菲斯市的国家民权博物馆，与我的孩子们分享这段重要的历史，并提醒他们努力工作、服务和光荣成就的重要性。
These values have propelled me throughout my life from childhood to college, where I joined Kappa Alpha Psi and committed myself to the fraternity's fundamental purpose of "chievement in every field of human endeavor.-And today, I have been fortunate to work for a company whose values so closely align with my own.
It's this time each year that I ask myself: am I living out these values? What I have come to realize is when you plant good seed, eventually you reap a good harvest. It's an infinite cycle.
我作为多元化、公平与包容(DE&I)倡议负责人的新角色是一个宝贵的机会，可以开启播下好种子的新循环。作为 Delta 分部的人力资源负责人，我非常高兴能成为员工的倡导者，倾听他们的声音，并促进组织中各级男女员工的福祉。我特别乐于看到这些员工收获努力工作、服务和光荣成就的回报。
现在，在持续激励我推动变革的高级领导层和强大的 DE&I 委员会的支持下，我致力于为所有 Kroger 员工推进我们的 DE&I 倡议。
我赞赏所有与我们同行的人。你们的支持和鼓励 truly 令人鼓舞。我期待我们将共同完成的工作。
Our Chief People Officer Tim Massa often closes his meetings with the phrase "etter Together.?This has always resonated with me and I want to add that we are truly Better Together -with our differences.
In closing, I urge each of you to reflect on this quote from Dr. King. "ife's most persistent and urgent question is, 'hat are you doing for others?"€?/p>
