Formally established in 1968, the primary mission
of the ILBC is to assure that the interest of AfricanAmerican citizens are given equitable representation
in the General Assembly and that legislative action
is directed to address those interests.
For 47 years, the ILBC has represented the interests
of Illinois citizens. Through the efforts of the Caucus,
tremendous strides have been made in the areas of
housing, health and welfare, education, employment
and minority business enterprise. Today, 10 black
senators and 21 black representatives comprise the
Illinois Legislative Black Caucus.
