Lieutenant General Jay Silveria models inclusion and demands inclusion with tough love. After USAFA prep school black American cadets woke up in the morning to a "You don't belong here" message outside their dorm rooms, he gathered the entire school for a dress down. The 1985 graduate of the school told the entire group of cadets that if they could not "treat others with dignity and respect", then the academy was not a place for them. He turned around and walked away.
