An AT&T time capsule from 1987 would reveal a heartfelt long-distance commercial with the memorable tagline “Reach out—reach out and touch someone.” Wireless phones were big, boxy devices. And within the company, employees were set to launch a groundbreaking employee resource group (ERG) known as LEAGUE at AT&T.
It’s been 30 years since LEAGUE (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Allies Employee Organizations of AT&T) was formed, making it one of the oldest LGBT ERGs in the nation.
