Congressional Black Caucus Chair Marcia L. Fudge (OH-11) released the following statement regarding President Obama’s nomination of Debo Adegbile to serve as the Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division of the U.S. Department of Justice: “I am very pleased that this week President Obama moved forward with the nomination of Debo Adegbile to lead the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division.
