They’ll book Oprah for Black History Month; import sword dancers from Beijing for Asian-American Heritage Month; tap Jennifer Lopez to sing at Hispanic Heritage Month; trot out the Yale Whiffenpoofs for National Coming Out Day. Just don’t ask them how many diverse lawyers they’ll promote to partnership this year.
