Marriott International made history during the 2013 Presidential Inauguration by sponsoring not one, not two, but four presidential inaugural galas.  The galas were hosted by The Root and The Human Rights campaign that play a key role in Marriott's goal of reaching out to and welcoming the African American, Hispanic and LGBT frequent business traveler to our hotels, around the world.  Pictured from L to R:  At The Human Rights Campaign Inaugural Gala - Julius Tennon, actor and husband of Tony Award® winner and Academy Award® nominee Viola Davis along with Marriott International Executive Vice President of Global Communications and Public Affairs, Kathleen Matthews.  Ms. Davis attended the gala as a Marriott guest.
