“Since 2003…the criminal section within the Civil Rights Division has not hired a single black attorney to replace those who have left. Not one. As a result, the current face of civil rights prosecutions looks like this: Out of fifty attorneys in the Criminal Section - only two are black. The same number the criminal section had in 1978 - even though the size of the staff has more than doubled.”
Justice Dept. diversity under fire
The House Judiciary Committee will summon Attorney General Alberto Gonzales this week to answer fresh charges stemming from the failure of the Justice Department's civil rights division to hire more minorities.
What I am curious is what is the entire makeup of all minorities in the Civil Right Division? And is Gonzo really being an 'equal opportunity employer?'
