In honor of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) Foundation’s 50th year of servitude to the Black community, we interviewed 5 of its representatives, four of who are currently serving districts across the United States. 

“Everything that we do, we should look at [it from]a historical perspective and then connect it to what is going on now.” Rev Yearwood speaks with Congresswoman Maxine Waters of California’s 43rd Congressional District. The two discuss the intersectionality of issues with the climate crisis, young people bridging the digital divide, and the legacy of Black women.
