THE MISSOURI LEGISLATIVE BLACK CAUCUS

Since 1970, Missouri's Black legislators on both sides of the aisle have joined together to ensure the needs of the Show-Me State's Black community are well-represented in the General Assembly.

That legacy continues more than 50 years later with 26 members of the House and Senate committed to passing legislation that empowers and enables Black Missourians to live out their version of the American Dream.
