Citizens for a Pro-Business Delaware Launches Print Ad Echoing Reverend Al Sharpton’s Call for President Biden to Advocate for Diversity in Delaware Court System

WILMINGTON, Del.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Following a recent rally in Delaware to promote legislation for police accountability and transparency, Reverend Al Sharpton doubled down on his advocacy for diversity on Delaware Courts in a new Citizens for a Pro-Business Delaware print ad. Once again, Sharpton urged President Biden to use his presidential power and deep roots in Delaware to call on Gov. Carney to follow federal leadership in appointing diverse nominees to top courts.

Citizens for a Pro-Business Delaware has amplified Rev. Al Sharpton’s advocacy for diverse courts on a number of occasions, including when he successfully fought for the nomination of the first Black justice, Tamika Montgomery-Reeves, to the Delaware Supreme Court in 2019. Despite this step towards equity, Governor John Carney went right back to the status quo, replacing Montgomery-Reeves with a member of Delaware’s white, male old boys’ club.
