This resolution concerns the confirmation of Jacqueline Stallworth to the Commission on African-American Affairs for a term ending July 8, 2027. Stallworth is a high school English teacher from Ward 7 in Washington, DC, with over eighteen years of teaching experience in urban and suburban schools. She holds multiple advanced degrees from Tuskegee University, Michigan State University, and George Washington University, and is known for her work in diversifying high school curriculum and promoting empathy through literature. The resolution, submitted by Mayor Muriel Bowser on November 6, 2025, follows the Confirmation Act of 1978 and the Commission on African-American Affairs Establishment Act of 2012. The nomination has been reviewed by the Office of the General Counsel to the Mayor and found to be legally unobjectionable, recommending Stallworth's reappointment as a public member of the Commission on African-American Affairs.
