Vanita Gupta, Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General of the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division, delivered an address on criminal justice reform and policing. In announcing her arrival at the Department of Justice, Eric Holder praised Ms. Gupta, saying that “even as she has done trailblazing work as a civil rights lawyer, Vanita is also known as a unifier and consensus builder. She has a knack for bridging differences and building coalitions to drive progress.” This praise has been echoed by sources as diverse as National Rifle Association head David Keene, who told the Washington Post that Ms. Gupta “listens to and works with people from all perspectives to accomplish real good.”
