President Richard Nixon met with the newly formed Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) for the first time, following months of pressure from the group. The CBC presented a 60-page policy statement titled “The Black Declaration of Independence,” outlining critical issues facing Black Americans, including civil rights, economic justice, and political representation. This meeting marked a significant step in the Caucus’s mission to advocate for African American interests at the highest levels of government.
