WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden is taking new steps to address racial inequality throughout the federal government. Biden signed an executive order on his first day in office in January 2021 that required agencies to conduct reviews and take steps to fix problems. On Thursday, the president signed a new executive order directing that those agency reviews be conducted every year. An adviser to Biden says the new order is part recognition that the goal of achieving equity is a “generational commitment” and is not a one- or two-year project.
