Congressional Black Caucus

On Thursday, September 24, 2009 I and a group of teenagers from Banneker along with our teachers and others schools went

to the Congressional Black Caucus. The Caucus was in the Walter E. Washington Convention Center. The first thing we went to

was a CBC Spouse Issue Forum and Essay Contest. After that we saw a film that was abou educating black boys. Next, we went

to a National Model for African American Males, presentations named From "Lincoln to Obama", "Young, Gifted and Black",

"The Youth Promise Act: A National Movement", and a film called Sticks and Stones may break my bones but words will never

hurt me.That was about it for Thursday because after this we went out to eat and then stayed at Washington Suites.

Friday, September 25,we went to a town hall meeting for emerging leaders. After we saw a film named Legacy: Black and

White in America Movie Screening. Next, we went to a meeting about Men to boys; Lessons to uplift Our Community. Then we

saw an Emerging Leaders series- iou ( I Owe University ). So after all this was done we just looked at the various organizations

that were at the Conevention. The organizations that caught my interest was a group of People that gave out Coca Cola for

free and people that were informing the publicly about the F.D.I.C. Finally we went out to eat and then went home.

For the last day Saturday, September 26 we went to Howard University an took a tour of the Campus. We saw the White

(not in person but from a pretty good distance). We rode on the bus for a very long time and then went to eat. We finally

arrived back in Brooklyn at around 10:00 P.M.
