Established in 1971, the CBC has been committed to using the full constitutional power, statutory authority, and financial resources to ensure that African Americans and other marginalized communities in the United States have the opportunity to achieve their aspired goals.

While the CBC has predominantly been made up of members of the Democratic Party, the founding members of the caucus envisioned a non-partisan organization. Consequently, the CBC has a long history of bipartisan collaboration and members who are both Democrat and Republican.

The Caucus is Chaired by Congressman Steven Horsford.

On September 8, the delegation visited Agahozo Shalom village and Anne Heyman Solar Field in Rubona Sector, Rwamagana District.
