Photography by Vicky PInk - On September 18-21, 2013, Houston Style Magazine was on hand in Washington, DC for the 43rd Annual Legislative Conference (ALC) for the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, Inc. The premier conference on legislative and policy issues impacting the African-American community attracted thousands of attendees from across the country and around the world. During this four-day conference attendees learned about the challenges and opportunities facing black America and the Diaspora. ALC provides the platform for collaboration and policy development to occur among international, national, state and local leaders and their constituents through regional forums, national summits, and policy-centered conferences. This year's ALC theme, It Starts With You, was a call to action to be and lead the positive change needed in public policy. ALC provides an African-American perspective on public policy with thought-provoking and educational policy forums, community education workshops and policy briefs. CBCF would like to thank all attendees of the 43rd ALC. Save the date for next year's ALC, Sep. 24-27, 2014. Some in attendance were Sherri Shepherd, Rev. Al Sharpton, Shaquille O’Neal, Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee, Congressman Al Green, Wanda Adams, Representative Rodney Ellis, Essence’s Vanessa K. Bush, Dr. Faith Foreman, GM’s Jocelyn Allen, GM’s Harry Peterson, Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, Carl Davis, Shekira Dennis, NABJ’s Bob Butler, Hiram Jackson, TSU’s Dr. John Rudley, Rev. Leslie Smith, Houston City Controller Ron Green, NNPA’s Bill Thompkins, NNPA’s Clovis Campbell, Francis Page, and many more.
