Latino advocates push for more change in publishing following Macmillan’s diversity efforts

The Latino advocacy organizations Presente.org and #DignidadLiteraria received long-awaited news on June 23.

Almost five months after the #DignidadLiteraria campaign pressured Macmillan Publishers to address the lack of diversity in its publishing house, the corporation’s CEO John Sargent announced that he was stepping back from daily duties, allowing a new “trade management committee” to take his place in an effort to place more representative leadership at the top of the publishing industry.
