31Days: Congressional Black Caucus Foundation
(Sorry for the brief entry today, but I have a lotta work to get caught up on.)
A wonderful resource. But on a sad note, I took the BHM quiz on the site and got 8 out of 10 correct. So much to learn...so little time...
"The Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, Inc. (CBCF) was established in 1976 as a non-partisan, non-profit, public policy, research and educational institute. As envisioned by its founders, the CBCF's mission is to serve as the non-partisan policy oriented catalyst that educates future leaders and promotes collaboration among legislators, business leaders, minority-focused organizational leaders, and organized labor to effect positive and sustainable change in the African American community. To that end, the CBCF has worked to broaden and elevate the influence of African Americans in the political, legislative and public policy arenas. In aiding today's policymakers, the CBCF sponsors issue forums and leadership seminars to stimulate dialogue and educate African Americans in the fundamentals of legislative and public policy development. These forums bring together people of diverse perspectives to explore and formulate solutions to critical domestic and foreign policy issues confronting the Black community."
