Welcome to the California
Legislative Black Caucus
The CLBC was formed in 1967 when African-American members of the California Legislature, under the leadership of Senator Mervyn Dymally, joined together to address the concerns of African-Americans and other citizens of color. The members believed that a caucus representing concerns of the African American community would provide political influence and visibility far beyond their numbers. Today, there are 12 members of the California Legislative Black Caucus.
