President Joe Biden announced on Tuesday the inaugural members of the President’s Advisory Council on African Diaspora Engagement in the United States. During the 2022 U.S.-Africa Leaders Summit, the Biden-Harris administration said it was establishing this Council to work towards the prosperity of the African continent and its people and strengthen the unique relationship between the U.S. and Africa.
The Council is made up of 12 members including Rosalind Brewer of Georgia, Chinenye Joy Ogwumike of Texas, and Rev. Dr. Silvester Scott Beaman, who will serve as Chair of the Council. The members were appointed by the Secretary of State and the Council represents the diversity of the African Diaspora from African American communities around the U.S. and immigrants across Africa and the Caribbean, the White House said in a statement.
