We are very pleased to announce that HUD Secretary-Designate Marcia Fudge joined us for the First 100 Days Civil Rights Summit. As a member of Congress, Rep. Fudge introduced the Strength in Diversity Act. She understands the damage of racial segregation and its role in perpetuating “institutional racism” and obstructing “access to opportunity, in America”. Her experience and accomplishments as a mayor, a member of congress, chair of the Congressional Black Caucus and member of the Committee on Education and Labor make her well poised to take on the challenges and opportunities to help unite our country by unifying our communities and regions now so divided by class and race.
