Another Democrat “Trailblazer” Leaves Behind Mixed Legacy

Alexis Herman, the first Black Secretary of Labor under President Bill Clinton, has died at age 76. While the mainstream media is busy canonizing her as a civil rights hero, we should take an honest look at her record. Herman spent decades embedded in Democrat administrations, starting with Jimmy Carter appointing her to head the Women’s Bureau at just 29 years old – the youngest director in the department’s history. This began a pattern of Democrats using her identity as a Black woman to advance policies that expanded government control over American businesses while claiming to champion “equality.”

While Herman broke barriers as the first African American to serve as Labor Secretary, her policies helped lay the groundwork for today’s bloated labor regulations and workplace mandates that strangle small businesses. Throughout her career, she promoted government intervention in private employment practices, using the power of federal agencies to pressure companies into diversity quotas – the precursor to today’s controversial DEI programs that judge people by their identity rather than their merit.

From Civil Rights to Government Control

Herman’s path to Washington began in Mobile, Alabama, where she was influenced by her father’s civil rights activism. After graduating from Xavier University with a sociology degree, she started in community development before being fast-tracked through Democrat political circles. Her career repeatedly intersected with the Clintons – serving as CEO of the 1992 Democratic National Convention, as White House Public Liaison Office director, and ultimately as Labor Secretary after Clinton’s re-election.

“Alexis Herman was a skillful and creative administrator who worked to empower women and strengthen families. In every effort, she lifted people with her unfailing optimism and energy. We’ll miss her very much.” – Bill Clinton.

Of course Bill Clinton would praise her – Herman was a reliable soldier who advanced the Democrat agenda of using race and gender as political weapons. As Labor Secretary, she secured the Workforce Investment Act of 1998, which expanded federal involvement in job training while giving Democrat-aligned unions more power. She also resolved the 1997 UPS strike in ways that further empowered organized labor at the expense of business flexibility and consumer costs.

The Real Democrat Playbook

Herman’s career perfectly illustrates the Democrat strategy: appoint minorities to visible positions to claim progress while implementing policies that keep those same communities dependent on government. After her government service, Herman founded a consulting firm focused on “diversity and inclusion” for corporate America – monetizing the very identity politics she helped normalize in government. She worked with massive corporations like Procter & Gamble and AT&T on diversity initiatives that have now evolved into the DEI bureaucracies dividing Americans by race and gender.

“From her early days working to desegregate schools in Mobile, Alabama, to her leadership in the private sector and the Carter and Clinton administrations, Alexis dedicated her life to expanding opportunities for all Americans—especially women, minorities, and working families.” – Bobby Scott.

What Congressman Scott conveniently omits is that these “expanded opportunities” came with expanded government control. Herman’s approach wasn’t about true equality of opportunity, but equality of outcome – a fundamentally socialist concept that requires ever-increasing bureaucracy to implement. Her pioneering role as the first Black Labor Secretary should be acknowledged, but conservatives shouldn’t let identity politics mask the problematic policies she championed that continue to burden American businesses and divide our society along racial and gender lines.
