We are going to create a collaborative that helps determine and scale the most effective methods and programs. Provide qualified summer associate candidates to firms that have difficulty recruiting black law students. We contacted nearly 100 law firms that had less than 1 percent black lawyers. Most did not respond, but of the three who responded, two explained they were IP firms and found it difficult to find black law students with STEM degrees. We are going to create a free black law student resume bank and pre-screening interview service law firms. 8 | www.lawyersofcolor.org CONGERSSIONAL BLACK CAUCUS Congratulations to the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation on its empowering Annual Legislative Conference!

  • Delegates to the US Congress
    Delegates to the U.S. Congress: History and Current Status Christopher M. Davis Analyst on Congress and the Legislative Process August 25, 2015 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R40555 Delegates to the U.S. Congress: History and Current Status Summary Delegates, representing territories that had not yet achieved statehood, have served in the House since the late 1700s. In the 20th century, the concept of delegate grew to include representation of territories where the United States exercises some degree of control but were not expected to become states. In the 114th Congress, the U.S. insular areas of American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, the Virgin Islands, and the federal municipality of the District of Columbia are each represented in Congress by a delegate to the House of Representatives. In addition, Puerto Rico is represented by a resident commissioner, whose position is treated the same as a delegate. This report provides historical background on the development of the position of delegate to Congress and on the rights of a delegate once seated. The Constitution makes no provision for territorial representation, and early laws providing for territorial delegates to Congress did not specify the duties, privileges, and obligations of these representatives. It was left to the House and the delegates themselves to define their role. On January 13, 1795, the House took an important step toward establishing the functions of delegates when it appointed James White, the first territorial representative, to membership on a select committee. In subsequent years, delegates continued to serve on select committees as well as on conference committees.

Recipients of The Congressional Award Gold Medal have earned the highest honor Congress bestows upon a youth civilian. For a minimum of two years, each Gold Medalist logged hundreds of hours across four program areas: Voluntary Public Service, Personal Development, Physical Fitness, and Expedition/Exploration. The 2018 Gold Medal class was the largest in the program’s 39 year history, representing an unprecedented year of servant leadership. This year’s class contributed 371,280 service hours to communities near and far, an average of 840 hours per medalist. This special recognition event took place in the historic Kennedy Caucus Room of the Russell Senate Office Building, located on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. Three award ceremonies were held to accommodate family members and guests. ABC News Chief White House Correspondent Jonathan Karl, NBC News Washington Correspondent Blayne Alexander, and Entercom’s 94.7 FRESH FM and NBC4 personality Tommy McFly each served as Masters of Ceremonies. The Presentation of Colors and National Anthem were given by the United States Capitol Police Ceremonial Unit. Invocations were provided by Reverend Patrick Conroy, Chaplain of the United States House of Representatives, and Dr. MarTeze Hammonds, Congressional Award Advisor and program volunteer. Over 50 Members of Congress attended the ceremony to present their constituents with the Gold Medal.

  • Xavier Becerra 1958–
    H CURRENT HISPANIC-AMERICAN MEMBERS H Xavier Becerra 1958– UNITED STATES REPRESENTATIVE 1993– DEMOCRAT FROM CALIFORNIA Xavier Becerra had barely completed one term in the California state assembly when he was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1992. During his career in Washington, Becerra has emerged as a Democratic leader, becoming the first Latino in the history of the House to sit on the powerful Ways and Means Committee and being elected twice by his colleagues to serve as the Image courtesy of the Member Vice Chairman of the House Democratic Caucus. Xavier Becerra was born in Sacramento, California, on January 26, 1958, the third of four children to working-class parents Maria Teresa and Manuel Becerra. He majored in economics and graduated in 1980 from Stanford University, near Palo Alto, California, becoming the first member of his family to earn a bachelor’s degree.1 He stayed on at Stanford, earning a law degree in 1984, before working as an aide to a California state senator and then becoming a California deputy attorney general. After Becerra moved to Los Angeles, community leaders encouraged him to run for the state assembly in 1990.2 Becerra was young and relatively unknown, and his victory that year galvanized a new generation of Latino politicians.3 Before the expiration of Becerra’s first term in the state assembly, venerable Los Angeles Democrat Edward R. Roybal retired from the U.S. House. California had just redrawn its congressional districts, shifting the border of Roybal’s 30th District westward from East Los Angeles to Hollywood.
