Citizens for a Pro-Business Delaware Stands with Reverend Al Sharpton and Pastor Blaine Hackett in Effort to Hold Delaware Bench and Bar Diversity Project Accountable to Goals

WILMINGTON, Del.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, Citizens for a Pro-Business Delaware (CPBD) offered its support to the petition from civil rights leaders Reverend Al Sharpton and Pastor Blaine Hackett to meet with Delaware Supreme Court Justice Tamika Montgomery-Reeves, leader of Delaware’s Bench and Bar Diversity Project, which was founded after years of advocacy for increased diversity in the state’s top courts.

Reverend Sharpton has worked over the past several years to highlight the lack of diversity in Delaware’s judicial system on the national level, noting the disparity between the percentage of people of color in Delaware’s prison population and representation on the state courts.
