This past week, African American politicians and activists from around the U.S. gathered in the nation’s capitol for the annual Congressional Black Caucus weekend, a series of workshops, forums and parties.

Over 2000 people showed up for a forum on this subject last Thursday, sponsored by Representative Maxine Waters of California.
