Ford Motor Company founder
Henry Ford may have been associated with anti-semitism, but Ford exec Mark Fields told a congregation of Jewish
business leaders that he encountered no discrimination as he rose through the ranks at the company. In fact Fields said
in answer to a question from a member of the audience that he was amazed at everything Ford does to promote diversity
among the ranks of its employees, from a strong interfaith support network to an environment that supports inclusions
of all types of people.
Fields was the guest of honor at a luncheon by the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Detroit.
