Eric Holder leading inquiry into systemic racism at Seattle Childrenâs Apr 07, 2021
A committee reviewing issues of systemic racism at Seattle Childrenâs Hospital is asking current and former employees, as well as families with relevant information, to come forward. They say the identities of participants will be confidential.
The committee has tapped Eric Holder, former attorney general under President Obama, and his law firm Covington & Burling to lead the review.
The inquiry is the outgrowth of the resignation of Dr. Ben Danielson, a prominent Black pediatrician and administrator, from Seattle Childrenâs last November. His departure caused shockwaves and prompted letters, petitions and protests targeting one of the region s most prestigious healthcare institutions.
The Washington Black Lives Matter Alliance has filed ethics complaints against three Republican state lawmakers, claiming their questioning in public hearings was “discriminatory,” and offensive toward people of color.

State of Oregon, 299 U.S. 353, 364 (1937), the United States Supreme Court recognized that the “right of peaceable assembly is a right cognate to those of free speech and free press and is equally fundamental,” while reversing the conviction of defendant for “criminal syndicalism” (i.e., assisting in the conduct of a meeting of the Communist Party).
