Opinion: Black and Brown New Yorkers deserve an immediate solution to the homeowner crisis
In the New York I grew up in, homeownership meant something. Even in a city primarily of renters, it was possible, with enough hard work, for middle-class New Yorkers to own a piece of the American dream – especially if they lived in the “outer” boroughs. Today, that dream is fading for the grandchildren of Caribbean immigrants in Flatbush, Dominicans in the Bronx and Black families in my native East Elmhurst. New York's median home price has jumped from $450,000 in 2010 to $785,000 today.

The Supreme Court Was Broken Long Before the Leak
The NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund (LDF) is responsible for winning some of the most important cases in the history of the United States—but one of the most impressive testaments to the organization’s strength is the fact that it survived the “Summer of Eric,” back when I was one of its interns. One day in June 1974, my boss assigned me a task even I knew I could not afford to mess up: filing a brief at the United States Supreme Court.

Our country is getting more diverse and less rural. This is a fact confirmed by the 2020 Census data which serves as a roadmap for redistricting in every state.

Protesters hold signs opposing gerrymandering outside the Supreme Court on March 26. (Sarah L. Voisin/The Washington Post) July 4 Eric H. Holder Jr. was U.S. attorney general from 2009 to 2015.

I Will Fight to Elect the Right Democratic President
Opinion | Eric Holder: I won’t run, but I will fight to elect the right Democratic president
Eric H. Holder Jr. was U.S. attorney general from 2009 to 2015. There is in the United States today a crisis of leadership — caused and perpetuated by an administration that uses fear to stoke divisions and lies to support broken policies. It would be easy for Americans to grow pessimistic — but as I’ve traveled to 25 states over the past year, I have found that the people of this country are better, and more caring, than these small-minded leaders would have us believe.

It’s Time for Americans to Take Back the Vote
In many places, Republicans have fundamentally changed the electoral system in a way that undermines the principle of one person, one vote.
