My mom and I are going to this event (we are involved in our local chapter of Blacks in Government) and I figured a lot of you would probably be interested. The Congressional Black Caucus is having its annual Legislative Conference on September 21-24 in D.C. this year. Here's the site for it:

I hope some of you can make it. I've never been to one before but I've heard they are always very powerful and informative.
