Address by the Chairman to the Military Leadership Diversity Commission

In his 2009 testimony (page 394),  Admiral Mullen states, "But what I also found was that because we had prioritized on African-Americans, we were nowhere with Hispanics--nowhere."

An incredible admission by an unbiased military expert with over 40 years of military service--an admission substantiated via a conversation with HVLA in 2017. Yet, the Military Leadership Diversity Commission failed to explore or even report this revelation in their final report. HVLA agrees with ADM Mullen that the national spotlight was focused on women and African-Americans (through equal opportunity, affirmative action and diversion & inclusion initiatives) for decades, which produced great results for those groups but excluded Latinos.
