Who Are We?
Formally established in 1967, the primary mission of the ILBC is to assure that the interests of African American citizens are given equitable representation in the General Assembly and that legislative action is directed to address those interests.
For 56 years, the ILBC has represented the interest of Illinois citizens. Through the efforts of the Caucus, tremendous strides have been made in areas of housing, health and welfare, education, employment and minority business enterprise. Today 12 black senators and 22 representatives compromise the Illinois Black Legislative Caucus.
