Eric Holder leading inquiry into systemic racism at Seattle Children’s
Apr 07, 2021
A committee reviewing issues of systemic racism at Seattle Children’s Hospital is asking current and former employees, as well as families with relevant information, to come forward. They say the identities of participants will be confidential.
The committee has tapped Eric Holder, former attorney general under President Obama, and his law firm Covington & Burling to lead the review.
The inquiry is the outgrowth of the resignation of Dr. Ben Danielson, a prominent Black pediatrician and administrator, from Seattle Children’s last November. His departure caused shockwaves and prompted letters, petitions and protests targeting one of the region's most prestigious healthcare institutions.
