Delaware Black Caucus

The Delaware Black Caucus, also known as the DBC, is a non-partisan American public policy, research and educational organization. The DBC is composed of African Americans elected as mayors, council members in the state of Delaware, as well as members of the Delaware General Assembly.

Priorities

The mission of the DBC is to serve as a non-partisan policy-oriented catalyst that educates future leaders and promotes collaboration among legislators, business leaders, minority-focused organizational leaders, and organized labor to effect positive and sustainable change in the African American community. The DBC works to broaden and elevate the influence of African Americans in the political, legislative, and public policy arenas in Delaware. The DBC creates, identifies, analyzes and disseminates policy-oriented information critical to advancing African Americans and people of African descent towards equity in economics, health and education.
