Joe Biden is 6 days into his presidency and he's taking aim at the promises of racial equity that he made during the inauguration. Today Biden signed an executive order ending DOJ contracts with private prisons. The president also signed orders to address HUD's historical discrimination in housing as well as recommitting the federal government respect of Tribal sovereignty.
Biden's commitment includes ending discrimination towards Asian Americans & Pacific Islanders. The NAACP has said that today's actions by the Biden Administration is "an important first step", but adds that more needs to be done to achieve racial justice.
