Join us as we remember how it all got started! We will take Black History Month to share the timeline of history.

Although operational since 1973, the S.C. Legislative Black Caucus formally organized in 1975. At that time, the Caucus adopted the motto above to reflect its unity and purpose. In 1975, the Caucus was composed of thirteen (13) Black members of the South Carolina House of Representatives. This represented the largest number of Blacks to serve in the General Assembly since Reconstruction.
