Letter: Whole Foods should hire people of color

It’s Saturday, Oct. 1, and I just came home from waiting in line outside the Connolly Library for the Whole Foods hiring event. I was keeping a friend company who was planning to attend. There were dozens and dozens of people there in a long, long line, and most of them were people of color—Latinos, Haitians, Africans, Arabs. It broke my heart to see how many of our neighbors are out of a job. If community means anything in JP, it seems to me that we should insist that most of the people Whole Foods hires for the JP store are people of color.
