President Biden this week will mark the 70th anniversary of the landmark Brown v. Board Supreme Court decision as part of a broader outreach to the Black community, a White House official exclusively told The Hill.
Biden on Thursday will meet with the plaintiffs from the Brown v. Board case and their families at the White House, the official said. The unanimous 1954 ruling found that segregating children in public schools on the basis of race was unconstitutional, paving the w...

Tackling racial justice with the voice of experience
Patrice Willoughby was always destined for service.
Born in Ohio, her parents were heavily involved in politics and social justice. They were members of the NAACP, active members of their church and would often work on behalf of political candidates.
“We always did things for people who were less fortunate than we were,” Willoughby told The Hill in a recent interview. “They always taught me that it's your responsibility in society to extend a hand and to ...

The massive constitutional implications of the Idaho abortion case
The Supreme Court heard oral argument last week in Idaho v. United States, a case that pits state law against federal law in a clash between a strict abortion ban and the protection of women’s health in emergency situations. Unlike Roe v. Wade and Dobbs v.
