The Pennsylvania Legislative Black Caucus was founded in 1973. The purpose of the Pennsylvania Legislative Black Caucus is to serve as an information and advocacy vehicle to advance the interests of African-American, Latino, and other minority citizens of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

Welcome to the official website of the Pennsylvania Legislative Black Caucus, also known as the PLBC.

Our website is designed to keep you cognizant of the issues that occur throughout our state and to inform you of the legislative initiatives that impact all minorities in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

You may notice that we have made some improvements to the page that will allow for easier navigation to the areas that are of interest to you.

If I or my staff can be of assistance, please don't hesitate to ask. Thank you for visiting our page.
