"We must learn to live together as brothers[and sisters] or
perish together as fools." - Martin Luther King, Jr

The Broward County Democratic Black Caucus is a part of the Democratic
Black Caucus of Florida.  The Democratic Black Caucus of Florida was
conceived during meetings right here in Broward County at the Westin
Diplomat Hotel in Hollywood, Florida during the 1981 Florida State
Democratic Party Convention Black delegates at the 1981 Florida State
Democratic Party Convention felt the need for increasing the power and
influence of Black Democrats within the party.

A decision was made at the Convention to unite Black Democrats throughout
the State, resulting in the organization of the Democratic Black Caucus of
Florida. The caucus was recognized on September 24, 1983, by the Florida
Democratic Party as an official affiliate organization.  The Democratic
Black Caucus of Florida was established to unite and increase the political
power for Black Democrats who went unnoticed.

The Caucus is an integral part of the Florida Democratic Party’s
infrastructure, which unites talent with opportunity to facilitate voter
building through educational forums, effecting voter registration drives
(EVRD), Get Out The Vote (GOTV), voter action network (VAN), vote by mail
(VBM), and support qualified candidates approved by the Black Caucus.

NOTE: The original founders included our Representatives to the US Congress
Carrie Meek, and Corrine Brown as well as community activists such as Hazel
Armbrister. Our biggest supporters are Congressman Alcee Hastings, FL
Representatives Gwyn Clarke-Reed and Hazelle Rogers, Broward Democratic
Party Chair Mitch Ceasar, Voter Rights Advocate and Defense Attorney Tom
O'Connell, P.A., and Broward Commissioner Dale Holness and Perry Thurston
(now candidate for FL State Senate).
