...driven home two years ago when I flew down to Birmingham, Alabama, to deliver a speech at the city's Civil Rights Institute. The institute is right across the street from the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church, the site where, in 1963, four young children - Addie Mae Collins, Carole Robertson, Cynthia Wesley, and Denise McNair - lost their lives when a bomb planted by white supremacists exploded during Sunday school, and before my talk I took the opportunity to visit the church.

Martin went from a high-profile job at Kodak as the chief aide to the CEO to president of global customer service and support, supervising more than 3,000 people worldwide. "Coming out was really frightening, to be honest," she admits. "I had never done anything like that in my life." She feared that her credibility with colleagues would suffer. Martin, now the vice president of corporate marketing for Blue Shield of California, says...
