Eric Holder: The Man, the Myth, The Legend

Eric Holder

Attorney General

United States Justice Department

I serve as a member of the President's cabinet. In this way, I can advise him on all legal matters. I am also the top law enforcement officer in the government. 

"Though this nation has proudly thought of itself as an ethnic melting pot, in things racial we have always been and continue to be, in too many ways, essentially a nation of cowards."

In this quote, I was inferring that our country has done little to confront the issue of racism. Instead, we have merely pushed it into the shadows of our society.
