Biden's directive comes Thursday as the challenges and complexities of systemic racism are again drawing the public's attention.
President Joe Biden is set to order the federal government to do more to address racial inequality.The White House says President Joe Biden is taking new steps to address racial inequality throughout the federal government
An adviser to Biden says the new order is part recognition that the goal of achieving equity is a "generational commitment" and is not a one- or two-year project Biden, on his first day in office, signed an executive order that recognized these long-standing disparities and pledged that the government would act to remedy them.
Chiraag Bains, the president's deputy assistant for racial justice and equity, said that the new order shows Biden is "doubling down" on the commitment he made on his first day as president "to put equity at the center of how this government operates."
