When we asked Globe readers and staffers to tellus about people who deserve recognition for promoting diversity in Massachusetts, the nominations came flooding in for passionate, dedicated folks in almost every field. From the scores of worthy candidates, we singled out 12 who in very different ways — from encouraging women and people of color to run for office, to making corporate boardrooms more inclusive, to ensuring disadvantaged kids have equal access to college — are breaking down barriers and even challenging our very definition of diversity.

By "leveling the playing field" are we talking about outcomes or opportunity? Is the real goal that an equally talented man and woman have an equal shot at a job, or that 50% of positions are held by women regardless of the talent pool?
Diversity, code for affirmative action.
