Loretta Lynch Confirmed as Attorney General

Despite the political foot dragging of the GOP, the confirmation of Loretta Lynch, Attorney General of the United States, the first woman of color to hold that post, represents another huge step in the long march toward equality and democratic values in this country. Although it should only be anecdote to her impressive record, the fact that this represents a significant step both in both racial and gender equality in the U.S., that the top law official in the U.S. Government is a woman of color, it is as significant as the election of President Obama. And with the hope that in her 18 months in office she can further address her goal of bringing police and minority communities together and fight human trafficking it is another very proud day to be an American.
