Theres a new call for congress to lead by example and hire more people of color for top staff positions on the hill. It comes after the news4 iteam discovered lawmakers in the house and senate dont have to follow the same rules they require for nearly every other employer. The senate may now create a new position to work on increasing diversity. Seth mcfarland has more on a possible big shift on the hill. Im not happy today. Im frustrated. Reporter this month, former hill staffer don cravens jr. Told the crowd hes embarrassed by the state of hiring practices in congress. I was the only africanamerican chief of staff from 2012 reporter the only one . The only one. Reporter since he left his job in congress, he says diversity among top hill staffers has not improved. When senators are making decisions that affect the country and senators that represent states with large minority populations, and i dont know that they can make truly wise decisions without having people of all backgrounds in those discussions. Reporter he says part of the problem is that no one in Congress Keeps track of how many minorities get hired to work for senators or representatives as was shown by a recent news4 iteam investigation. Youre right, theres no accountability. Theres no fear. Reporter for months last year we went digging for numbers of how many staffers in our local offices identify as women, as people of color, or lgbtq. Congress requires diversity tracking in the workforce for everyone else. But no one has to track those numbers within congress. And no one does. Its a huge disparate. Reporter Spencer Overton heads the joint center for political and economi attempted to find data on how many minorities work in top legislative roles. We found people color make up 35 of the u. S. Population but account for only about 7 of top senate staff. Reporter that report also prompted a census by the senate black legislative black caucus, which found 5 of Senate Staffers in dc identify as black. The caucus has drafted a bill calling for the establishment of a nonpartisan chief diversity officer for the senate who would help foster and grow plans for every office to establish and maintain a diverse staff and collect demographic numbers to formal track hires. Its got the support of new Senate Minority leader chuck schumer, who is continuing a Diversity Hiring initiative started by former Democratic Senate leader harry reid. He says dedicating ourselves to diversity will be good for the senate and for the country. Schumer, the joint center, and the urban league also Want Congress to take a cue from the implement whats known as the rooney rule in hiring. You should interview at least one person of color for each position that you have open. It allows men and women of color to get in the pipeline, to find out what theyre missing so they can go and find those skills so maybe the next job opening that comes available, they can apply for that job. Reporter there are signs of progress. Since the iteams initial report, six lawmakers have announced the hiring of men and women of color to top positions in their offices. And you can see the iteams first report on diversity on the hill in the nbc washington app. Just tap on investigations. A lot of us are familiar with dr. Martin luther king jr. s i have a dream speech. We spoke to one of his closest friends, atlan friends. Barbara harrison has more. Reporter they had been small town in alabama. Andrew married jean childs. Martin wed coretta scott. We met has fathers who married women from the same Little Country town. Reporter they credited their wives, not only for the friendship the four enjoyed, but also for the strong commitment to the Civil Rights Movement. Both coretta and jean were more committed, i think, to get into the struggle to do something about race than either me or martin. Reporter he says his wifes hard working family had their savings swindled by those who resented black businesses. She was very bitter about race. Now, coretta had the same kind of experience. I mean, corettas father had three different businesses that were destroyed by white people. Reporter both men had moved to alabama to pastor churches. He said Martin Luther king was looking for a quiet, more pastoral setting. He wanted to finish his ph. D. Dissertation, and he p most conservative church in the south, two weeks after he finished his dissertation, rosa parks sat down in the bus. Reporter rosa parks arrest angered men in the black community, especially the women. They were looking for the right person to start a protest. And when they put her off the bus and took her to jail, they had their candidate. Reporter he says the women needed a leader for their movement and queried those who knew the bright young minister, Martin Luther king jr. And the march toward a new day had begun in alabama. Actually the march on washington grew out of the demonstrations in alabama. Reporter but he says he wasnt too sure what a march on washington could do for the movement. We were a little too arrogant to see that a southern black movement could not change america. What it took was a movement. Reporter he says there was a vying for position by the speakers for the event. He says his friend martin didnt push to speak at all. In those days, we figured to get on the 6 00 news you had to speak before 3 00. So everybody wanted to speak first. And they were jockeying for position. And he said, ill speak last. Reporter and it was those words, spoken at the end of the day, that everyone remembers. I have a dream. Mahalia jackson, i heard, had just finished singing when martin got up to speak. She kept saying, tell them about the dream, martin. And he launched into this i have a dream sequence. It was not written down. Reporter mahalia jackson, who sang that day, was one of the few women who participated. Andrew young says that was the one thing he and his friend martin felt was a grand oversight. That was one of the washington, there was no woman speaking. They kept the movement going. Every little movement, every local movement was pretty much started by a woman. Reporter and his greatest tribute to the women of the Civil Rights Movement was to those closest to him and his friend martin. I say that if martin and i had not married the Little Country girls we married from alabama, you never would have heard our names. Reporter Barbara Harrison, news4, washington. Wow.
