A shame before God: Ben Crump slams anti-DEI lawsuit against Black female venture capitalists [Video]

The systematic dismantling of affirmative action and attacks on diversity, equity and inclusion efforts are showing up in courtrooms, classrooms and board rooms. The latest attack being on the ‘Fearless Fund,’ a venture capital firm that aims to help level the playing field for women of color in business. A conservative group sued, claiming that by focusing on Black women, the firm discriminates against business owners of other races. Civil rights attorney Ben Crump has been representing the ‘Fearless Fund’ during its appeal process and says it is “a shame before God” the group was targeted. “Diversity is a good thing, not something that should be set aside.”June 16, 2024
