‘Quit’ter Causes a Stir

Although I don’t know Hadji Williams [A&C, Jan. 14], I am sorry to hear he is quitting the ad business. I can tell he is smart, gutsy and all about the work. His comments on our industry are a sad wrap-up of 10 years slugging it out in the trenches. Regarding point No. 2, I wonder how can we do a better job recruiting and retaining talented people of color?

Hadji Williams’ piece, “Why I Quit,” has led to much discussion at my agency.
