The Black Congressional Caucus To Confab at Williams College
If you are curious how black Congressional leaders expect having an African American president will effect the legislative process, then you should head to Williams College on Monday night, November 17, for an extraordinary panel discussion. Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick (left) along with twelve members of the Congressional Black Caucus will participate in a forum on “Race and the New Congress,” which will be moderated by 60 Minutes correspondent Lesley Stahl (above).
The congressmen expected in Williamstown are: James E. Clyburn (S.C.), Democratic Leadership Majority Whip; Robert. C. Scott (Va.), Chairman, Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, and Homeland Security; Bennie G. Thompson (Miss.), Chairman, House Committee on Homeland Security;
Sheila Jackson Lee (Texas), Chairwoman, House Subcommittee on Transportation and Infrastructure Protection; Danny K. Davis (Ill.), Chairman, House Subcommittee on the District of Columbia; John Lewis (Ga.), Member of the House Committee on Ways and Means; Diane E. Watson (Calif.), Member of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs; Hank Johnson (Ga.), Member of the House Committee on Armed Services; Donna M. Christensen (V.I.), Member of the House Homeland Security; Yvette Clarke (N.Y.), Member of the House Committee on Education and Labor
“What an enormous honor it is for Williams to host the largest number of Congress members ever to gather on our campus,” Williams President Morton Owen Schapiro said in a prepared statement, “and what a great privilege for students, faculty, staff, and local residents to hear first-hand from caucus members so soon after the historic presidential election.”
