President Biden Addresses Racial Inequity by Signing Executive Order

President Biden signed a new executive order to address racial inequity on Thursday.

The Further Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government order is designed to address systemic barriers that hold communities of color back from prospering.

The order is Biden’s second racial equity executive order.
