As the new team president, the Las Vegas native is fully stepping into where interim president Dan Ventrelle left off, according to NFL.com.

In the midst of the historic moment, Morgan took a moment during her introductory presser to speak on aiming to address the current issues in the league. As previously reported by AfroTech, there is an alarmingly low percentage of Black coaches leading teams in the NFL — which led former coaches including Brian Flores to file a lawsuit for alleged “racism in hiring.”

“When Mark and I first discussed this opportunity, I was honored and humbled, but I also had a lot of questions,” Morgan said, according to the outlet. “It’s no secret that this organization has faced some recent challenges. But I want to be clear: I’m not here to sweep anything under the rug or avoid problems or concerns that need to be addressed.”

She continued: “The fact is I accepted this role because I believe in the promise of the Raiders, I believe in the future of the Raiders and I believe in this organization’s tenets of integrity, community and, most of all, commitment to excellence. I believe in the Davis family’s legacy of celebrating and promoting diversity in every sense of that word. I believe in this community that we now call home that has embraced this team with open arms.”
