Attorney General Eric Holder makes his way to Ferguson, Mo in the wake of civil unrest after the killing of Michael Brown. After briefing President Obama on the situation, Holder informed the President that he would visit the site himself. His visit is scheduled to begin on August 20th. I thought it might be interesting to learn a bit about the highest ranking law enforcement officer in America.
Eric Himpton Holder, Jr., serving in the administration of President
Barack Obama, is the first African American to hold the position of U.S.
Attorney General. He was sworn in as the 82nd Attorney General of the United
States on February 3, 2009 by Vice President Joe Biden.
