On February 2, 2022, Leslie Watson Wilson, national director of People For’s African American Religious Affairs, published the following letter to the editor in The Washington Post:
I was disappointed to see Ruth Marcus’s Jan. 27 op-ed, “Breyer’s replacement will make a difference — and not much difference at all,” in which she said there is “more relief than joy” in this moment.
As a Black woman, minister and civil rights leader, I disagree. It does matter that we will soon see the first Black woman on the Supreme Court — profoundly so.
