Speaking to NBC, Marc Morial, who heads the National Urban League, said groups like his have adopted a “wait-and-see mode” as they have struggled to be involved in Biden’s nomination process. But Morial is only one of a number.
The president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), Derrick Johnson, has also complained of the neglect by Biden’s transition team.
“We haven’t had a meeting with him, we have not had a conversation about the Georgia run-off election, we have not had direct conversations about key appointments that are going,” said Johnson.
“Civil rights leaders in this country should be on par if not more than other constituency groups he has met with,” Johnson added. His expectations come from promises made by the former vice-president who promised to put together the most diverse government in American history.
