U.S. Rep. G.K. Butterfield will be the co-chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation’s conference in September, an event that could draw some 20,000 to Washington.
The four-day conference, Sept. 26-29, will include forums on issues affecting African Americans and the African diaspora, including education, health care, criminal justice, economic development and international affairs, reports Barb Barrett.
The conference raises money for the foundation’s scholarship, fellowship and internship programs.
Butterfield, a Wilson Democrat, also will host a forum on fighting poverty in rural America.
