President Biden’s efforts to create a diverse and inclusive government are continuing beyond his picks for Cabinet and military leadership as he sets his sights on expanding the appointment of Black women on more local courts.
According to John Fritze and Ledyard King of USA Today, Biden is poised “to double the number of African American women serving on the nation’s federal appeals courts during his first few months in office.”
“While advocates for greater diversity say the share is still too small, Biden is on track to expand the number of Black female appellate judges to eight from four, ensuring that at least one Black woman is serving on more than half the nation’s circuit courts,” Fritze and King reported.
