| Congressional Black Caucus | | Formed in 1970 by 13 African American members of the U.S. House of Representatives, the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) joined together to strengthen their efforts in addressing the concerns of Black and minority citizens. CBC members believed that a united voice representing “the general welfare” of African American constituents would positively impact legislation and issues of public policy being considered in Congress. Currently, thirty-seven CBC members provide political influence and visibility for the largest and most populated urban centers in the United States in addition to many expansive and rural Congressional districts. |
