White House Domestic Policy Council

White House Initiative on Advancing Educational Equity, Excellence, and Economic Opportunity for Black Americans

This executive order establishes a White House Initiative within the Department of Education to advance educational equity and economic opportunity for Black Americans through interagency coordination, evidence-based policy, and a Presidential Advisory Commission. It revokes a 2012 Obama-era initiative on the same topic, expanding the scope to explicitly include economic opportunity and workforce development alongside K-12 and higher education.
