Diversity and inclusion has played a very important role since the days of the Manhattan Project which brought together some of the greatest minds and talent from around the world to Los Alamos to live and work side by side. The week of Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday has become our local Diversity Week to celebrate this melting pot that makes our town so unique." - MADHAVI GARIMELLA, One Los Alamos
