DescriptionColor photograph of 2016 Individual Diversity Award winner Benjamin Taylor.Benjamin Taylor has worked as an attorney for the underserved and has enhanced the dignity of those who rarely have a voice in the Tempe and Phoenix communities. Because of his commitment to social justice, he takes on some of the Valley’s most controversial and contentious matters. Without hesitation, Taylor tackles racial inequality and social justice issues by standing alongside community leaders at town hall meeting and press conferences. As a mentor, he devotes a Saturday each month to under-served youth through a national non-profit organization. Taylor is also the youngest board member of the Maricopa County Branch of the NAACP, serving as a volunteer for the legal redress committee to advocate for people treated unfairly at work or in other settings.
