Welcome to the South Carolina Legislative Black Caucus

The creation of the Legislative Black Caucus in the South Carolina legislature was a direct result of the civil rights movement and the legislation that came out of the movement. Following the Voting Rights Act of 1965, African-Americans began voting in large enough numbers to elect African-Americans to office.

Chair's Message

It is a privilege to serve as Chair of the South Carolina Legislative Black Caucus, leading 35 accomplished members united in our mission to ensure our legislature reflects the vibrant diversity of our state. Together, we draw on a wide range of experiences and a shared dedication to advancing justice, equity, and opportunity for every South Carolinian.

Our focus is clear: advocating for universal broadband access, quality education, accessible and affordable healthcare, accessible and affordable housing, environmental justice, and economic advancement. Given that many of the communities we represent are rural, the Caucus is especially committed to addressing their unique challenges and unlocking their full potential.

Though obstacles remain, the commitment and resilience of our members continue to drive meaningful progress. The South Carolina Legislative Black Caucus remains steadfast in its commitment to creating a fairer, more inclusive future. I am honored to serve in this important role and look forward to continuing the essential work of positive change across our state.
