Kristen Clarke likely first Black woman to lead DOJ civil rights


WASHINGTON 
Kristen Clarke was looking for a new athletic challenge during her junior year in high school. Girls’ basketball didn’t interest her because she couldn’t dribble. Girls’ ice hockey? She didn’t skate. Volleyball didn’t seem intense enough.
Then she recalled how hard the boys’ wrestling team worked out. They ran until they sweated off enough pounds to make a weight class. They lifted weights. They left practice exhausted. So, in an audacious move for the early 1990s, Clarke joined the boys’ team.
“They were giving it everything. If she was going to do a winter sport, she said, ‘might as well do the most difficult one,’” recalled Window Snyder, a friend and classmate of Clarke’s at the prestigious Choate Rosemary Hall in Connecticut. “I don’t think she ever even thought about it being a boys’ sport. That is who she was. Whatever she was doing had to be challenging.” ....

Lawmakers will consider the nomination thanks to a special Senate vote which was required to advance it to the floor. The Judiciary Committee in May failed to advance the nomination on its own after senators deadlocked on Clarke with a vote of 11-11.
Republicans on the evenly divided panel staunchly opposed Clarke’s nomination based on past statements and writings, including an op-ed piece calling for some defunding of the police to bolster racial equity. ....
