Citizens for a Pro-Business Delaware offered its support to the petition from civil rights leaders Reverend Al Sharpton and Pastor Blaine Hackett to meet with Delaware Supreme Court Justice Tamika Montgomery-Reeves, leader of the recently announced Delaware’s Bench and Bar Diversity Project.
Sharpton has highlighted what he views as a lack of diversity in Delaware’s judicial system, noting the disparity between the percentage of people of color in Delaware’s prison population and representation on the state courts. Pastor Blaine Hackett of St. John African Methodist Church has hosted events and developed a grassroots coalition at the local level.
