Citizens for a Pro-Business Delaware Joins Pastor Hackett's Protest for Diversity on Chancery Court

Pastor Blaine Hackett called for diverse judicial representation after recent nomination of another white justice to the Chancery Court.

DOVER, Del.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--After the recent nomination of former Skadden lawyer, Lori Will, to the Chancery Court, Citizens for a Pro-Business Delaware joined with Pastor Blaine Hackett of St. John African Methodist Church along with community members to protest the decision and the lack of diversity in Delaware’s court system.

The protest came a full two years after the first Black Chancery Court Justice, Tamika Montgomery-Reeves, had her seat filled by a white man, Paul Fioravanti. That appointment made it so that the Court to no longer had any Black representation. Two years later, that remains the case.
