Senator Kamala Harris and Senator Cory Booker are the second and third Black Americans to be appointed to the Senate Judiciary Committee in its 200-year history.
The response to the murder of Tyre Nichols is an example of the misled thinking that more diversity equals systemic change.
Black police do NOT fix the problem of the violent and racist systemic infrastructure of the criminal legal system.
The system itself must change.
