Congressional Black Caucus  

Definition

  • The Congressional Black Caucus emerged as a result of centuries of African Americans' determination and perseverance to obtain their freedom from enslavement and their right to enfranchisement. The United States was founded by people who sought to create a country ruled by a constitution rather than a king and who believed in the principle of freedom from governmental tyranny.
