Civil rights groups say Biden not consulting them on appointments despite campaign promise

So far, a few names have been announced for Biden’s cabinet, and only one Black woman is expected to this powerful executive unit. She is Linda Thomas-Greenfield, the nominee for the United States Ambassador to the United Nations.

Louisiana congressional representative Cedric Richmond will also play a senior advisory role in the White House. On Sunday too, the president-elect announced an all-female communications staff including three Black women namely, Ashley Etienne, Karine Jean-Pierre, and Symone Sanders, who will be the voice of his administration.

But these nominations are certainly not meeting the demands of the civil rights groups who would not be expecting anything less than the president-elect fulfilling his promise.

“We aren’t asking for some kind of veto, we are asking for some kind of consultation,” said Morial.
