On Wednesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports,” Janai Nelson, the Associate Director-Counsel of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund stated that the Department of Justice’s plan to probe affirmative action in college admissions is part of a modern attack on civil rights.
Nelson said, “This is what a 21st century assault on civil rights looks like, an assault on voter rights, an assault on police-community relations, and now this latest attack on affirmative action. It is really stoking an us versus them narrative, that is doing nothing but harm to our country.”
