Key role for Black policy leaders on Biden's transition team

DETROIT – Black policy leaders will play a pivotal role in President-elect Joe Biden’s transition, marking one of the most diverse agency review teams in history.Of the 500-plus team members announced this week, more than half are women, and Black men and women are leading more than one-quarter of the teams.The diversity is significant because the teams will be responsible for evaluating the operations of federal agencies that have a broad impact on Americans' lives. And it's especially important because Biden will take office at a time when the United States is confronting a historic pandemic, joblessness and police brutality -- crises that have disparately impacted Black Americans.
