“Tate brilliantly illuminates the evolution, internal dynamics, and problems of the Congressional Black Caucus. She documents the conversion of congressional Democrats to the CBC’s agenda. This candid and insightful book should be read by anyone with an interest in the growth and development of African American representation in Congress.”
