It has been the honor of my life to serve the American people in the Biden-Harris Administration as the 18th Secretary of HUD.

While my time as Secretary is coming to an end, I am so proud of all of the progress we've made to help those who've needed us the most.

My friend Marcia Fudge has been a true champion for the families, homeowners, and renters of America.

Madam Secretary, I am grateful for your leadership, partnership, and dedication to advancing opportunity and equity. You are a trailblazer, and I'm proud to fight alongside you.

🧵 On his 95th birthday, I wanted to share some color photos of Daddy. It wasn’t that long ago… #MLK Day #MLK 95 #MLK

Charles Ogletree, aka Tree, was one of the most brilliant lawyers of our time, a mentor to countless students, a tireless public defender, an advocate for the marginalized, a fierce opponent of racism and sexism and an extraordinary scholar. May he rest in power. #CharlesOgletree

Charles Ogletree was a legal giant, brilliant scholar & racial justice engineer. We are grateful for his years of service on Legal Defense Fund⁩’s board and for his lifetime of inspiration to so many. May he rest in peace, power, and deep satisfaction for a life so generously lived.

The monument will protect places that are central to the story of #EmmettTill ’s life, his brutal death from white supremacists torturing and murdering him at age 14, and his mother, #MamieTillMobley ’s activism, which helped spark the civil rights movement. nbcnews.com/politics/white…

This weekend, Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke gave the commencement address at Tougaloo College in Jackson, Mississippi. Congratulations to all the graduates!

I've spent time with the people of Lowndes County. I saw pipes protruding from homes, spilling waste into the same places where kids play.

As I said from the very beginning, this injustice is unacceptable. Great work by U.S. Department of Justice and HHS.gov today.

In Memphis today marking 55 years since the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King. This somber day is a reminder of #MLK ’s powerful legacy and selfless efforts to make our nation more racially just and equitable. Let’s carry his torch forward. #MLK 55 #MLK Legacy

🧵 It wasn’t that long ago.

On the 55th anniversary of the day he was assassinated…here are some photos of my father in color.

Today, President Biden visited Selma, Alabama to commemorate the 58th Anniversary of Bloody Sunday – so that history can’t be erased – and highlight how the continued fight for voting rights is integral to delivering economic justice and civil rights for Black Americans.

Proud to stand in Selma Alabama today to remember the sacrifices made by those who peacefully marched on #BloodySunday in 1965 in pursuit of the right to vote. The spirit of John Lewis is with us as we renew our efforts to ensure that everyone has voice in our democracy. #Selma58

Karen Hobert Flynn was one of a kind— an unrelenting champion of democracy, a staunch advocate of all things concerning voting rights, a humble leader, a loving mother, and a true friend. Heartbroken by this news. A loss for Common Cause and the country. 🙏🏾

Saddened by the passing of Cecilia “Cissy” Marshall — a national treasure, a shining light, an activist who supported LDF lawyers in the heyday of the civil rights movement and one who fully represented the life, legacy and values of her husband, the late Thurgood Marshall. #rip

One year ago today, AAG Clarke became the first Senate-confirmed woman and the first Black woman to lead the Civil Rights Division. Since taking office, the Division has ramped up efforts to protect the civil and constitutional rights of all Americans.
