The Cold Case Act

I already addressed Juneteenth, but a look at the White House nominations had a somewhat related tidbit. (It is nice to see who is being appointed. Also, again, I wish VP Harris had her own page with her current schedule and so forth. All I see is a bio page.)

Reference is made a "Civil Rights Cold Case Records Review Board." This was a project of something signed into law over two years ago, a Sen. Doug Jones baby (with others; yes, Ted Cruz too). Not too suprisingly (though somewhat stupidly; it would have been an easy bone to throw) Trump didn't get around to fill the board, which would help "collect and release documents detailing the unsolved killings of the civil rights era."

President Biden, whose administration early on put racism (along with the Big V, climate change, and the economy) as his four primary agenda items. And, each has been addressed. This would be a suitable part that addresses history, like the Tulsa massarcre and Juneteenth. The fact high school students played a key part in bringing the whole thing into existence just adds more. It is about time the positions are filled.
