Post by Congressional Black Caucus Foundation

The Congressional Black Caucus Foundation has filed its response in federal court to the lawsuit brought by the American Alliance for Equal Rights and Defending Education against our Spouses Education Scholarship.   Our filing makes clear that this claim is wrong on the facts and on the law. The scholarship program complies fully with legal requirements, and we are confident in our position moving forward.   President and CEO Nicole Austin-Hillery (w); and co-counsels Jason Schwartz, Partner at Gibson Dunn; and Alphonso David, Civil Rights Attorney and CEO and President of the Global Black Economic Forum both issued statements this morning reaffirming CBCF's commitment to the scholarship and to the communities it serves.  🔗 Read the full statement and motion: https://lnkd.in/edvSXdqG
