Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke Delivers Remarks at the 12th Annual Black Women’s Roundtable “Women of Power” National Summit

Good morning. It is great to be here. I want to just start off by thanking my dear friend Melanie for her leadership and for her advocacy and for her extraordinary work effort. And I want to thank you the Black Women’s Roundtable State Conveners and affiliates from across the country. It’s a real honor to be with you today. And it’s great to be back, it’s great to be back to the Black Women’s Roundtable National Summit this year. A lot has happened since I spoke to this group a year ago. I left, I understood the assignment, and I’m back to provide an update on our civil rights enforcement work at the Department of Justice.
